Historical
The World Heritage Site of Ironbridge, home of the Industrial Revolution, with its ten museums is in easy reach as are several National Trust Houses. Stokesay Castle in Craven Arms is a favourite, probably the finest example of a fortified manor house in England.
Not far away are the remains of Wroxeter; the fourth largest English city in Roman Times with its vineyard, where visits and tastings can be arranged.
The nearby market town of Much Wenlock is a charming small town dating back to 680 AD, boasting several attractive timber buildings, unusual shops and the 13th C Wenlock Priory. It is also home to the Modern Olympics!
