Welcome to Shropshire

Tucked away on the English and Welsh Border

Tucked away on the English and Welsh border, Shropshire is easy to reach from almost anywhere but, like all the best places, far enough away that it has stayed comparatively unchanged. 

The Shropshire countryside is a recommended location for a bed and breakfast or self-catering cottage break with Farm Stay.  Birthplace of musician Edward German, poet Wilfred Owen and naturalist Charles Darwin, amongst others; Shropshire is located in the West Midlands.


Shrewsbury, Ironbridge, Ludlow and Whitchurch are some of the towns and villages in the county that deserve a visit during your B&B or self-catering break. The most popular tourist attractions include Ironbridge Gorge Museums, RAF Cosford and the Blue Planet Aquarium. Chester and Chester Zoo are also within commutable distance of the north of the county, as is Cholmondeley Castle in Cheshire.  Staying in Shropshire on a holiday suits those of you who prefer to get away from it all and really relax.

The county has excellent walking and hiking, try Geocaching in the  Shropshire Hills in the south of the county, rafting on the River Severn or explore the meres and mosses in the north.

The County has a well deserved foodie reputation, home to the first Food Festival in Ludlow but now joined by many more around the county.
