As a rural retreat from city life, North Shropshire really is second to none. Peaceful countryside, rolling sandstone hills, meres and mosses combined with historic market towns

Market Drayton, with its black and white half-timbered inns and red sandstone buildings, creates an inviting market town. This is the home of gingerbread which has been baked in the town for over 200 years

Ellesmere is set on the largest and most spectacular of nine glacial meres. Surrounded by circular walks, woodlands and gardens Ellesmere is a nature lover's paradise

Wem, the home of the modern Sweet Pea, where this fragrant and colourful creation is celebrated at an annual festival

The first tourists to Whitchurch were so impressed they built a town! This is the home of tower clocks which have been made in the town for more than 300 years. Discover the town's splendid array of medieval, tudor and georgian architecture

For those who wish to take to the water, you can hire a narrowboat for the week. Better still, why not book one of our many and excellent accommodations where you will experience a warm and friendly welcome before setting off on the waterways of North Shropshire
