  • filter_dramaGet around
    Shropshire is a predominantly rural area and sparsely populated. Car transport remains essential for travellers wanting to take full advantage of the county, despite recent efforts to increase public transport usage.

    It is possible to see most of the major sites by public transport. However, trains and buses can be infrequent or seasonal.

    Most towns in Shropshire have their own public transport and taxi service.

    Seasonal shuttle buses give access to areas of Shropshire including the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (see [wiki=acb5697f36046fdec499a765af78ef14]Church Stretton[/wiki]).
