Shropshire is a land of timeless landscapes which have inspired artists and writers for centuries, and the largest inland county in England. It hosts a series of ancient, market towns surrounded by quiet, unspoilt countryside with magnificent scenery. There is plenty to see including museums, craft centers, attractions, castles and gardens. Shropshire is one of the least crowded and most peaceful regions of Britain and is the Gateway to North/Mid Wales.
