Shropshire

Full of eclectic events, varied landscapes and plenty of heritage attractions, Shropshire is a wonderful place to visit, especially foodies and those looking for a romantic get away. 

As far as the UK's history goes, Shropshire is a fascinating place to visit, particularly because of its proximity to Wales, allowing you to enjoy both English and Welsh heritage. Here you'll find evidence of the battles between the Saxons and Celts, as well as Iron Age hill forts, 18th century canals,  one of Britain's largest Roman cities, a castle that tilts further than the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the home of the Princes of Wales, Ludlow Castle. 

Shropshire is also home to Shrewsbury, the birthplace of Charles Darwin and a descendant of the oak tree that rose to fame after Charles II used it to hide from the parliamentarians.
