Slow Travel: Shropshire

With no directly competing titles, Bradt’s Slow Shropshire fills a much-needed
gap in the market for a guide to an area that, of all of the UK’s regions, is
perhaps most synonymous with ‘Slow’. Ludlow is acknowledged as the Slow
Food capital of the UK, while the region as a whole is much celebrated,
described by PG Wodehouse as the "nearest earthly place to paradise". The
guide is unapologetic in taking you the long way round: through ancient
woodland, over bridges and 'Blue Remembered Hills', back in time, into castles,
churches and interesting pubs, cheerfully savouring the authentic, the offbeat and
the local.
