Shropshire - beautiful countryside up to the Welsh borders

Shropshire, one of England's best-kept secrets, offers visitors a perfect combination of history, tradition, and beautiful unspoilt countryside.

Shrewsbury (the capital), Ludlow and Bridgnorth are some of the best-preserved medieval towns in England , with hundreds of black-and-white Tudor buildings. Yet the whole county remains unspoilt by tourism.

This is a place where it is still possible to be surrounded by friendly, native English speakers all day, every day. Add to this easy accessibility from Birmingham , Manchester and Liverpool airports, plus the fact the people here speak good English with no discernible regional accent, and you start to get an impression of what Shropshire is.

England at its idyllic best.
