Shropshire is a largely rural county situated between the West Midlands and our Welsh neighbours.

I am in the process of developing a clickable map of the county in order to enable visitors to see some of the historic buildings and other sites of interest in the county of Shropshire and surrounding areas. At the moment the information available is rather sketchy, I will try to improve on it as time permits.

Click here to view the map. If you prefer, here is a list of all the places of interest shown on the map - (downloads faster)
