A major part of the Shropshire economy will be hoping for great new season as tourists look to find places to go for their spring and summer experiences.
The county will be amongst the UK's most amazing attractions as they vie for the precious pounds and pennies of visitors from this country and beyond so we take a look at just some of the top places to go.
You will be able to visit Victorian shops and cottages, meet craftspeople demonstrating their trades and taste authentic food in our recreated working town.File photo of The Bee Adventurous Trail during a past Easter activity at Attingham Park. The county has a long, turbulent and significant history and is dotted with scores of castles and historic venues. Stokesay Castle is one of the finest and best-preserved fortified medieval manor house in England.
There are paths for walking, cycling and horse riding, you can even drive to the top of the hill to take in the views. In Carding Mill Valley there are visitor facilities including a tea-room, toilets and car parking. But if you can go by public transport, do as it can get very very busy and it is a big bugbear among some of the locals.Frankly Alpacas in Broseley are diversifying to include Dexter Cows and Shropshire Sheep.

If you are into churches, Shropshire has an abundance of historic Christian places of worship, all with their own fascinating architecture and history. Shrewsbury Abbey is arguably the finest but I wouldn't want to argue with proponents of churches in Ludlow, Tong, Claverley, or anywhere else with one of these gems.
The centre is surrounded by beautiful countryside, and there are a number of circular walks that can be taken from there to explore the beautiful Shropshire Hills. There are also 30 acres of riverside meadows and an excellent cafe for that post walk refreshment.File photo from 2022 at the unveiling of a statue dedicated to George, a well loved Goose that graced the Mere for 20 years.
