As I mentioned, we started off our trip to Shropshire in Shrewsbury. Built on original medieval plans, walking around town feels like stepping into a different era. There’s a castle (naturally), but I loved all the old Tudor buildings dotted around everywhere. There are over 660 listed buildings here, and they really give character to the town. Whe...
Our canoe trip ended just by Quarry Gardens. From there, we went to The Boathouse Inn, one of the best restaurants in Shrewsbury overlooking the River Severn. We were lucky to grab a table on the terrace right beside the water, and it was such a beautiful spot. I had the grilled spiced salmon with okra and daal, and it was delicious. I would say on...

Just on the outskirts of Ludlow you’ll find the Ludlow Farm Shop. To kick things off, we had a tasty breakfast of eggs Benedict in Ludlow Kitchen (the on-site restaurant they have here).
