Exploring the Shropshire Hills

The Shropshire Hills are a haven of peace and quiet, wildlife, dark skies and inspiring views.

There are a hundred different reasons to visit the Shropshire Hills and everyone’s experience of them is unique and personal. These pages are about how you can make the most of your time here, leaving the hills just as you found them, or perhaps, a little bit better.
