Shropshire sits right on the western edge of England, bordering Wales, and offers one of the most beautiful slices of countryside you'll find anywhere in the country. It's a county full of rolling hills, winding rivers, historic market towns and charming little villages, all dotted across peaceful landscapes that never feel crowded or rushed. There's no big city bustle here, just a lovely laid-back pace where you can explore at your leisure, soak up the history, and enjoy the fresh country air.

The county's history goes back thousands of years, with Iron Age hillforts, Roman settlements, medieval castles and Victorian industry all leaving their mark. Shropshire played a key role in the Industrial Revolution, with Ironbridge often called the birthplace of industry thanks to its pioneering cast-iron bridge and early factories. Farming, mining, quarrying and textiles all helped shape the county over time. Even with its industrial past, Shropshire has managed to stay largely rural, with a population today of around 500,000 spread across towns, villages and countryside, giving it a calm and spacious feel compared to many parts of England.

There's no shortage of things to see and do here. Ironbridge Gorge is one of the county's most famous spots, packed with museums that tell the story of early industry, alongside the world-famous Iron Bridge itself. Shrewsbury, the county town, is full of medieval streets, timber-framed buildings, independent shops, and the lovely Quarry Park by the River Severn. Ludlow offers beautiful Georgian architecture, a ruined Norman castle and some of the best food spots you'll find in the region. Bridgnorth gives you dramatic riverside views with its High Town and Low Town linked by a funicular railway. The National Trust's Attingham Park offers grand hallways, deer parks and miles of walking trails, while English Heritage's Stokesay Castle stands as one of the best-preserved fortified manor houses in the country.

Beyond that, Shropshire's countryside is a paradise for walkers and nature lovers. The Long Mynd, Wenlock Edge and The Wrekin provide fantastic walking routes with sweeping views across the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Acton Burnell Castle, Boscobel House, and Wroxeter Roman City add more historical layers to explore. Smaller towns like Church Stretton, Much Wenlock and Ellesmere are full of charm, making perfect bases for pottering around, visiting markets and enjoying local pubs and tearooms.

The county's well connected, even though it feels wonderfully rural. The M54 connects Shropshire to the West Midlands, while the A49, A5 and A41 link up the market towns and make travel easy by car. Shrewsbury is the main railway hub, with direct trains to Birmingham, Manchester, Cardiff and London. Telford Central offers excellent links too, and there are smaller stations dotted around the county. Birmingham Airport is the nearest major airport, about an hour's drive from much of Shropshire, offering both domestic and international flights. Buses serve many of the market towns and villages, though a car definitely makes life easier for exploring the quieter corners.

Shropshire is one of those counties that quietly gets on with things, never trying too hard to shout about itself. It's full of history, full of beauty, and full of friendly, down-to-earth people who are happy to share their patch of England with visitors. Whether you're walking a hilltop, sitting in a country pub, or wandering through a medieval market square, there's a sense here that you've stepped into somewhere timeless.
