planning your visit
Welcome
Welcome to Shropshire Hills National Landscape. We work in partnership to protect and regenerate the Shropshire Hills landscape for everyone to enjoy.
We hope the information on this website will help you to explore and enjoy the Shropshire Hills, and inspire you to connect with and care for this special landscape.
Young voices, strong roots for nature's future!
Monday 15th September 2025 is Youth in Parks Day
It's a day when all Protected Areas across Europe come together to celebrate involving young people in their Parks. Young people are the future leaders, park managers, and active citizens of local communities. By connecting them to Protected Areas, we connect them with their cultural and environmental heritage.
Through our Young Rangers programme we are providing opportunities for young people to learn, lead and work directly on conservation projects in the Shropshire Hills. By nurturing their potential and equipping them with practical skills, we can restore ecosystems and strengthen biodiversity while cultivating a generation of dedicated nature stewards.
