Shropshire Secrets

Enjoy an Elite Door to Door Holiday to Shropshire

Shropshire is England's sixth least populated county, which contributes to its laid-back atmosphere. It offers a truly remarkable variety of attractions, including scenic beauty, historic sites, timber-framed villages, steam trains, and the World Heritage site of living Victoriana at Blists Hill. A river cruise has been planned for you to sit back, relax, and admire the town while enjoying a cup of coffee on board.  Take a walk across the world's first iron bridge, with the highlight being a trip to Wales to 'float in the sky' on the magnificent Pontcysyllte Aqueduct.

Meet some (almost) real Victorians in their authentic shops and cottages. Top your visit off with a bag of fish and chips cooked the traditional way in beef dripping and some treats from the old-fashioned sweetie shop. The journey home takes you via Ironbridge where the industrial revolution began. Built in 1779 the cast iron structure was the first ever cast-Iron Bridge.

Day 4

Welsh Borders

The terrain becomes more mountainous as the Welsh roads leads the tour to Llangollen - a thriving little town and home to both a steam railway and Llangollen Canal. Time free to have a stroll and have lunch before boarding the narrowboat for a two hour trip across Thomas Telford's Pontcysyllte Aqueduct - 1000 feet long and 126 feet high, and recognised as a World Heritage Site.
