Shropshire, England brings together heather-topped ridges, market towns, and old border country in one rewarding hiking landscape. Walk the Long Mynd above Church Stretton, climb the Stiperstones for its jagged quartzite skyline, or follow stretches of the Mortimer Trail toward Ludlow. Around Ironbridge Gorge, woodland paths and river views add another layer to a county shaped by both deep history and open hill country.
