The Welsh Borders - A Wonderful Holiday Destination
South of Cheshire lies Shropshire, arguably the prettiest of Wales' neighbouring counties. Boasting its very own AONB (Are of Outstanding Natural Beauty) as well as the captivating medieval town of Shrewsbury, Shropshire is a hidden jewel not to be missed. The Shropshire Hills AONB may just be the best place for walking in England, thanks to its breath taking, mountainous vistas that seem to stretch to the horizon.

Head into Wales to break a sweat hiking in the Brecon Beacons, whose Eastern heathlands meet English soil.
