Shropshire is a huge and truly glorious scattering of hills, castles and timber-framed villages tucked against the Welsh border. Highlights include food-obsessed Ludlow, industrial UNESCO World Heritage Site at Ironbridge and the beautiful Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty covers a quarter of the region and offers some of the best walking and cycling routes in the country.
This sleepy county's population and economy is centred on five towns: the county town of Shrewsbury, Telford, Wellington, Dawley, Madele, Oswestry and the picturesque Bridgnorth that spills over with holidaymakers in the heady summer months and Ludlow.
