Shropshire, England’s charming landlocked county, stretches from the industrious urban landscape of Telford in the east to the rugged beauty of the Shropshire hills in the west. It’s a county steeped in history, with roots tracing back to the Celtic Iron Age kingdom of Cornovii, and includes not just Telford but also colourful towns like Shrewsbury, Bridgnorth, and Ludlow, each rich with its own unique character.

Shropshire is notably rural save for the dynamic contrast of Telford. This delightful dichotomy of bustling city life and serene landscapes adorned with natural and historical landmarks creates a captivating blend perfect for exploratory holidays. Take a leisurely stroll in the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, wander through UNESCO World Heritage Site Ironbridge Gorge or, for the history enthusiast, tread along the historic Shropshire Union Canal.

The varied geology of Shropshire, spanning from the Precambrian to the Holocene, invites the curious to plumb the depths of time. Fossil-hunters flock to locales like Mortimer Forest and Wenlock Edge. And when the day is done, you can rest under the iconic county flag, its golden and blue hues echoing the battering ram's leopard-carved head—a nod to the region's historic fortitude.

When to visit Shropshire

The promise of long sunny days make the months of May and July the crème de la crème of times to visit Shropshire. With favourable weather conditions and temperatures peaking between 22-30°C in July, it's a splendid time for family outings under the blissful Shropshire sun. However, those with a penchant for soft rainfall will find December equally enchanting, as it marks the most rainfall-heavy month in this land that sees an average of 760 to 1,000 mm annually.

No matter when you plan to visit, charming National Trust holiday properties available throughout the year ensure delightful stays across Shropshire. So, whether you plan to bask in the sun or espy the falling rain, Shropshire offers splendid accommodations to complement the natural beauty of England's heartland.
