Shropshire is an industrial beacon that played a key role in bringing Britain into the technological age. The longest river in the country, the Severn, meanders between quaint villages and rolling hills. Investigate the history of a region known for Charles Darwin and the Industrial Revolution. Darwin was born in the county town of Shrewsbury, where he attended St. Mary’s Church. Marvel at the stunning 14th-century Jesse window among the church’s impressive collection of ecclesiastical relics. The church stands near other attractions including Old Market Hall and Shrewsbury Museum & Art Gallery in the historic center. Admire the Tudor architecture within the River Severn’s loop enclosing this district. Relax in the leafy fields of the Quarry park. Contrast this medieval town with the modern village of Telford, which links the industrial hamlets of Shropshire. Bring your kids to the aerial rope course and mini-golf in Telford Town Park, before a trip to the Exotic Zoo and the Hoo Farm. Dotted along the River Severn outside the small town are museums dedicated to the manufacturers of the Ironbridge Gorge. Review the panels in Jackfield Tile Museum and enter the otherworldly bottle-kilns of Coalport China Museum. Among the region’s highlights is Blists Hill, a re-creation of a typical Victorian village. Exchange cash for tokens and purchase traditional items and food from the old-fashioned establishments. In the southern part of the county is the gastronomical hub of Ludlow. Go to the medieval ruins of Ludlow Castle and sample the local produce in Ludlow Food Centre. Enjoy the views in Bridgnorth, the antiques market of Church Stretton and the lakes of Ellesmere. Look to the western edge of England to find this large county, sandwiched between Herefordshire, Cheshire and the Welsh border. Fly to the airports of Manchester or Birmingham or take a 3-hour train from London. Consider the global changes Shropshire brought about as you hike through the rolling countryside and visit its museums. ### Popular cities in Shropshire [Shrewsbury Known for Friendly people, Bars and Historical ](https://expedia.com/Shrewsbury.dx5685) Marvel at the architecture in Charles Darwin’s birth town.
