The temperatures might be cooler and the days shorter, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get out and about and have fantastic new experiences. In fact, autumn might be the best time to experience Shropshire. With spectacular scenery, delicious seasonal food and drink and outdoor adventures, there are so many great reasons why Shropshire needs to be your Autumn 2022 destination.

 

1. The incredible autumn colours

There’s nowhere lovelier than the Shropshire countryside in autumn. As the woodland leaves change from green to a palette of oranges, crimsons and scarlets. Whether you’re looking for beautiful hikes, relaxing gentle strolls or the next spot for a big family outing, you can find it all here. Don’t miss Autumn 2022 in Shropshire – book your stay!

 

2. Refreshing walks and bike rides

5 reasons to visit Shropshire in autumn 2022 - walking and hiking

With misty mornings, crisp autumnal air and hazy sunshine, outdoor activities at this time of year are as good as, if not better, than during the summer. Enjoy great local walks through ever-changing landscapes! Alternatively, plan a two-wheeled adventure with hundreds of cycle routes to choose from.

If the weather takes a turn for the worse, don’t worry because…

 

3. Cosy pubs

It’s no secret that Shropshire is famously talented at two things in particular – food and beer!

Shropshire’s strong farming heritage naturally attracts talented chefs with field to fork mentalities. All of which produce the outstanding food on your plate all year round. Coupled with our incredible breweries (one of which is the oldest in Britain) you’re all set for a beautiful meal.

Take those two specialities and add in roaring fires, low ceilings and atmospheric surroundings – that’s a Shropshire pub!

 

4. Award-winning attractions

"🏰✨ Dive into the heart of Shrewsbury's Castle Quarter – the epicenter of history and grandeur! 🏰 Home to four of the town's largest historic treasures – Shrewsbury Castle, Library, Prison, and Train Station. 

Did you know Shrewsbury Castle's foundations were laid in 1083 by the 1st Earl of Shrewsbury, Roger de Montgomery? 
Montgomery, a cousin of William the Conqueror, earned this castle and more as a thank-you for his aid during the Norman conquest.

From royal stronghold to a 16th-century transformation, Shrewsbury Castle has quite the story. Now, it stands majestically, housing the Shropshire Regimental Museum. 👑🏰 Ready to step into the pages of history?
