The best things to do in Shropshire
For many, the most stunning aspect of this county is the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This glorious piece of English countryside is a living, working area, with plenty of space for walking, cycling or just relaxing. Head on a hike up The Wrekin, where you’ll be rewarded with sweeping views of the surrounding country landscapes. Or, wander up Stiperstones, a distinctive hill formed from quartzite rock around 480 million years ago. If being surrounded by stunning nature is your thing, Shropshire won’t disappoint.
Children and adults alike will love The Quarry, a glorious park set on the riverfront. Spend time wandering through the greenery, make memories on the play area and pose for a photo or two on the bandstand. Interact with meerkats and farmyard favourites at at Hoo Farm Animal Kingdom or visit family-friendly Hawkstone Park Follies for networks of caves, breath-taking views and extraordinary monuments.
Visit Shropshire for rich history
Shropshire is rich with history and culture and is widely regarded as the birthplace of the industrial revolution. Transport yourself back to another era on a fun family day out at Blists Hill Victorian Town. Or visit the world’s first Iron Bridge, built back in
1779, now seen as an iconic tribute to Britain’s industrial past. Finish your tour of the industrial birthplace at the Ironbridge Gorge Museum, offering educational exhibits on early industrial life, as well as recreated towns and old factory tours.
Not only is Shropshire steeped in industrial history, it is full of medieval English heritage for you to discover. Ludlow Castle, a restored Norman citadel form 1094, is an unmissable spot for history fanatics. Just next door from Ludlow Castle lies the striking 13th-century manor house, Stokesay Castle, complete with a chapel, gardens and moat walk, all accompanied by a free audio tour. Shrewsbury Castle offers a further look into English history, having stood since the 11th-century. The red sandstone castle is now a military museum, providing a close look at the history of Shropshire.
