Things to do in Shropshire

As a county known primarily for its natural attractions, it should come as little surprise that some of the best things to do in Shropshire involve the outdoors.

An important landmark for Shropshire, Ludlow Castle is known for hosting several festivals throughout the year, such as the Ludlow Food Festival in September or the Ludlow Spring Festival.

For anyone wanting to enjoy a round of golf, Church Stretton Golf Club is not only open all year round, but it’s also located right in the heart of the Shropshire Hills – allowing for incredible views while swinging your clubs.

A great example of this are the numerous and popular market towns, such as Whitchurch, known for their rows of small independent businesses promoting handmade items & antiquities.

That isn’t to say there aren’t any shopping centres in Shropshire, with Telford Centre offering a variety of recognisable big-name brands, such as H&M, River Island and Pandora.

The Darwin Centre in Shrewsbury is another popular destination for shoppers, mixing numerous coffee shops and eateries with larger name stores like Marks & Spencer, New Look and Clarks. There’s even a rubber duck store aptly named Shrewsbury Duck Store, meaning there really is something for everyone.
