When planning a relaxing summertime break, why not consider log cabins in Shropshire and enjoy the beauty of the county’s rural landscape? Shropshire borders Wales and is in the West Midlands of England. This lovely county is the most sparsely populated in the country and offers places to visit like the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Beauty in the south, which covers about one-quarter of the county.
You can also enjoy the River Severn, the longest river in Great Britain and the Ironbridge Gorge, which is a World Heritage Site. While known as the “birthplace of the Industrial Revolution”, most of the original factories here are long gone and the gorge has returned to its naturally beautiful state. It is riddled with footpaths and country lanes that run in and between quaint villages across the entire valley.
The old town of Shrewsbury is a favourite stop for those on log cabin holidays in Shropshire. The town is almost completely encompassed by the River Severn and is a perfect example of a medieval market town. It is also the town in which Charles Darwin was born. Ludlow is another historic town and is famous for its fine restaurants and food shops. For those who love to explore the old castles of England, the one located here, and nearby Stokesay Castle, are two impressive examples.
