SHROPSHIRE: SLOW TRAVEL (3RD ED) (PB)

Shropshire is a microcosm of British history: Bronze Age people, Iron Age tribes, Romans, Saxons and Normans have all left their marks in hillforts, earthworks, roads, churches, place names and legends. The county offers phenomenal walking, a 'poetry pharmacy', England's oldest working brewery, top restaurants in Ludlow, and the spectacular UNESCO site of Ironbridge Gorge. This revised guide provides detailed descriptions of place, historical overviews, ghost stories and folk tales, first-hand accounts from Shropshire residents, and recommendations for restaurants and accommodation, with an emphasis on car-free travel and local produce.
