At its heart is Shrewsbury, whose mainline station on the National Rail Network, facilitates easy access from and to anywhere in Britain. This guidebook offers: – detailed route descriptions with accompanying maps, historical content, guidance and practical information to help people walk the Shropshire Way. – a continuous variable long distance circular trail of up to 202.25 miles around Shropshire. – a continuous variable long distance circular trail of up to 98.5 miles around North Shropshire and up to 119.25 miles around South Shropshire. – other suggested shorter multi-day walks. – 33 linear day walks linked to public transport covering most route sections. – routes that incorporate diverse scenic landscape features, stunning viewpoints, historic towns and villages, ancient highways, Iron Age hillforts, castles, and other sites of historical interest. – a fascinating insight into the history of Shropshire and the various communities that the trail passes through. However it is not just Shropshire's beautiful varied countryside that makes the county so attractive. It has a rich heritage that reveals man's impact on the landscape over many centuries. There are Iron Age hillforts and Bronze Age burial sites, ancient field systems and many medieval settlements, ancient trackways, and Roman roads. There are relics of the county's important industrial past, when areas were mined and quarried for coal, lead, copper, zinc, iron ore, sandstone, limestone and dhutstone. Most notably the Ironbridge Gorge – a centre of the Industrial Revolution, and now a World Heritage site. Crossing the northern part of the county are the Montgomery and Llangollen canals – part of an early national transport network, which once also included the now disused Shrewsbury Canal. During the 19th century the arrival of the railway brought a new era of more efficient transport throughout Shropshire. This detailed and comprehensive new guide gives complete coverage of what is now one of the country's major long-distance trails.
