Welcome to North Shropshire

Some say this is the quietest part of Shropshire and it's easy to see why - with a landscape of meres and mosses, full of wildlife (bring binoculars) and miles and miles of languid canals weaving their way through unspoilt countryside. They also take in the newest World Heritage Site at Pontcysyllte with the breath-taking aqueducts, surely not for the faint-hearted.

With five distinctly different market towns and a positive scattering of pretty villages North Shropshire offers a real sense of warmth and welcome - just as you'd expect.

Do you love gardens? Then here you will find some of the finest England has to offer. North Shropshire also has Britain's first theme park - Hawkstone Park. Created over 250 years ago, this Grade 1 listed landscape is full of follies, caves, cliffs and grottoes, a firm favourite with visitors of all ages and even the occasional film producer too.

It's one of the lesser-known regions of our delightful county, so much to offer that we heartily recommend you book your visit now. Click the link to search for accommodation in North Shropshire.

Those by contrast that prefer their nature untouched by human hand will marvel at our glacial lakes and wetlands.
