Getting around
Public transport can be a hit-and-miss affair in the largely rural Marches. Without your own wheels, getting to countryside attractions takes time, planning and patience. Tourist offices stock timetables for most rural routes, or you can consult Traveline (0870 608 2608; www.travelinemidlands.co.uk).
Railway lines radiate from Shrewsbury, Hereford and Worcester, but they generally only serve larger towns.
The main bus operators:
Arriva (0870 120 1088; www.arrivabus.co.uk) An Arriva Go Anywhere ticket (£6.50) gives one day of unlimited travel.
First Travel (0800 587 7381; www.firstgroup.com) A FirstDay Wyvern ticket (adult/child £4.50/3) offers the same deal on the First network in Worcestershire, Herefordshire and adjoining counties.
