Big Days Out
Wend your way to the town of Wem, a quaint and quintessential slice of Olde England bursting with delightful delis and suchlike. It’s a similar tale at places like Market Drayton, Bishops Castle and Much Wenlock, dotted among the timeless landscapes and offering gems in the shape of antique shops, inns, teashops and traditional butchers and bakers.
This is border country and Shropshire’s history of conflict with Welsh marauders has left a legacy of storybook forts and castles. Try Blandings Castle, Powis Castle or Ludlow Castle. Prefer a more mythical feel? Take the King Arthur Trail. Man-made?
How about the pathways, ravines, arches and bridges of Hawkstone Historic Park? Walk or ride Housman’s blue-remembered Shropshire hills, rising Alpine-style from above Church Stretton, tee off on fine golf courses, or jump, tunnel and climb at The Adventure Ropes Course. Book a Bywater Cruise and watch the world go by from a canal boat tugged by a shire horse.
Drop the pulse a little at the Thai Serenity and Soul spa or the Tootsies Beauty Retreat. Retail therapy? The Parade in Shrewsbury offers more than 30 individual shops without a high-street name in sight.
