Short Breaks In Shropshire

 

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. Home to musician Edward German and naturalist Charles Darwin; 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 World Heritage Site, 10 award winning museums celebrating the industrial history
• Shrewsbury Prison - a new, immersive experience for all the family
• RAF Museum, Cosford - free to enter, all weather attaction
• Blue Planet Aquarium, just over the border in Chester
• Hawkstone Park and Follies
• National Ironworks Centre near Oswestry

Staying in Shropshire on holiday is perfect for those of you who prefer to get away from it all and really relax.
