Beskrivelse
Discover the charm of Shropshire with this thoroughly updated third edition of Bradt's Slow Travel guide. It’s the only standalone book offering detailed insights into England’s largest landlocked county, perfect for those who want to explore at a relaxed pace.
A comprehensive guide to uncovering the rich history and varied landscapes of Shropshire.
Part of Bradt's acclaimed Slow Travel series, this guide dives deep into the often-overlooked beauty of Shropshire, described by P. G. Wodehouse as "the nearest earthly place to paradise." The county’s history spans from the Bronze Age through the Iron Age, Roman times, Saxon and Norman periods, all visible in its hillforts, earthworks, ancient roads, churches, place names, and legends.
Shropshire’s unique location along the historically turbulent Anglo-Welsh border has left behind a fascinating collection of castles, castle ruins, and fortified manor houses, each with stories of battles and rivalries. The landscape varies dramatically, with flat, fertile plains, meres, and mosses in the north, giving way to hills, valleys, and woodlands in the south.
