In the heart of the West Midlands, Shropshire is a landlocked ceremonial county, its borders intertwining with the Welsh border. A tapestry of natural beauty and historical significance, Shropshire is bordered by Wrexham County Borough and Cheshire to the north, Staffordshire to the east, Worcestershire to the south east, Herefordshire to the south, and Powys to the west. The profound legacy of the Industrial Revolution is etched in the fabric of Shropshire, with two world heritage sites within its landscape - The Ironbridge Gorge and Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and Canal. Adding to this historical richness is The Flaxmill Maltings, the world's first iron framed building. Visitors to Shropshire are consistently astounded by the myriad of attractions, from the enchanting Severn Valley Railway to the inspiring RAF Museum Cosford, the stately Weston Park, and the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site. Shropshire has a splendid selection of National Trust and English Heritage properties, including Attingham Park and Wroxeter Roman City. You can even immerse yourself in the remnants of Roman cities, explore medieval castles, wander through ancient churches, and discover the many elements of Shropshire's rich heritage.
