Market Drayton Cottages
Stay in a traditional Shropshire town and book one of our
Market Drayton holiday cottages - ideal for
exploring the county's many delights.
If you like things sweet, you're in for a treat as Market
Drayton is the home of gingerbread, introduced during the days of
the Empire when Clive of India brought home the warming ginger
spice. Said to have restorative powers, make sure your Market
Drayton cottage's biscuit tin is well stocked for your holiday!
Or opt for the healthier option of Müller yogurts, also made
in town.
Discovering Market Drayton
Join one of the intriguing walking trails - the Boyhood Haunts
of Clive of India, Murder & Mayhem or the Children's Wild
Adventure Animal Trail. Admire the attractive half-timbered and red
brick buildings adorning the centre. Look out for the 14th Century
sandstone church on Phoenix Bank and also Buttercross, an old stone
portico complete with fire bell. Built to shelter market stalls,
the town continues to host a street market every Wednesday, when
Cheshire Street throngs with tradesmen selling everything from
linens to local produce, including the local WI's damson jam
and gin.
Head out of town into beautiful countryside, laden with
attractions for everyone to enjoy. The World Heritage Site of
Ironbridge. The grottos and follies of Hawkstone Park. The glorious
gardens of Wollerton Old Hall. Walk along the towpath of the
Shropshire Union Canal to the impressive 40-step aqueduct. Or head
further afield to the museums of The Potteries, even a daytrip to
Chester, home of Sykes Cottages!
All in all, a cottage in Market Drayton makes a great holiday
base!
