Stokesay Castle
One of the very finest and best preserved fortified medieval manor house in Britain, Stokesay Castle was built in the late 13th century. Now part of English Heritage the audio tour vividly recreates how life was spent there.
Ludlow town and Castle
An architectural gem, Ludlow is a thriving market town with medieval roots. With over 450 listed buildings, the unspoilt town is situated on a cliff above the river Teme and has become renowned for its food and musical events, eating and shopping. The imposing castle, built around 1085, now hosts many of the festivals and provides a fantastic backdrop.
Ironbridge
Ironbridge has been described as the "Birthplace of the Industrial Revolution" and is where the world's first iron bridge was built across the river Severn. Nearby Blists Hill is an open-air museum which recreates the sights, smells and sounds of a town in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Roman Wroxeter
Wroxeter was the fourth largest city in Roman Britain with over 5,000 citizens in its heyday. The site features 2nd century municipal baths and a replica townhouse built by English Heritage and used for a Channel 4 documentary!
