More about Shropshire
Shropshire has been a key player in the UK’s rich history, with ties to the early days of the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century. In fact, the town of Ironbridge is actually considered to be the birthplace of industry. This doesn’t mean the county isn’t packed with greenery, forests and rivers though. It may have started the revolution, but has spared itself from succumbing to it. Keeping on greenery, if you’re well read or a fan of the popular Lord of the Rings film franchise, JRR Tolkien actually based the Shire on the grasslands and hills of Shropshire. It’s also said that the Lonely Mountain from his books is inspired by the imposing Wrekin peak. Covering an area of Britain that stretches 1,347 square miles, Shropshire has more than enough room to hold a vast array of activities and experiences. Visit the stunning Bishop’s Castle, a traditional town right on the Welsh border, or take a trip to Shropshire’s ‘Little Switzerland’ in Church Stretton for a different kind of rural town feeling. For families, Shropshire has a range of things for children and adults to do together. Like at Boreatton Park, where treetop adventures await. For older kids, a visit to the Climbing the Walls indoor climbing centre in Shrewsbury is the perfect place to have some fun come rain or shine. Shropshire is a county with so much to explore and discover across its scenic landscape. To find cosy country pub hotels near you, all you need is an idea of the area you want to stay and we’ll do the rest.
