Shropshire 40 Heritage & History Walks
New book available from Pocket Mountains and Amazon... soon to be in a good bookshop near you
Shropshire has long been regarded as a hidden gem, often overlooked by those heading for the bigger challenges found in the rugged hills of Wales, and some way behind the popularity of the picturesque hotspots of England like the Cotswolds or the Lake District. Regular visitors will tell you, however, that there are few better places for curious walkers. The 40 walks in this volume are spread all around the region, taking in hills and dales which are home to Bronze Age stone circles, battle-scarred castles and fine country houses and estates, and following the rivers and canals that brought pioneering engineers and ironmasters the raw materials needed to power the innovations which placed the county at the very centre of the Industrial Revolution.
