Region: A E Housman once wrote that Shropshire was “the quietest place under the sun” and today the county remains something of a rural idyll, recognised as one of the least crowded and most peaceful regions in England.

Town: The pretty market town of Church Stretton sits amidst striking scenery and has often been described as "Little Switzerland", tucked inside the Shropshire Hills AONB. The town is home to a variety of tea rooms, pubs and specialist shops, as well as local attractions like walks on the Long Mynd, the Acton Scott Historic Working Farm and Stokesay Castle, while the historic towns of Shrewsbury, Ludlow, Ironbridge, Much Wenlock and Bishops Castle are all within easy reach.

Short break with friends

The Big Dingle is a beautifully equipped house set in a large garden. Nicely located about 12 miles south of Shrewsbury, the house offers excellent accommodation for a visit by extended family or, in our case, just two couples. The countryside is very pretty and there are many beautiful towns as well as National Trust properties in close proximity. Please be aware of some road and rail noise but I thoroughly recommend this property.
