About the location

SHIPTON

York 5.8 miles; Harrogate 22.5 miles; Leeds 31.3 miles.

The village of Shipton sits in Corvedale, a designated area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, close to the dramatic 15 mile long Wenlock Edge, which offers stunning views, excellent walking, cycling and horse riding, and is only 8 miles from Much Wenlock, a delightful 700-year old market town in the heart of the beautiful Shropshire countryside. Much Wenlock is filled with a patchwork of twisting streets, half-timbered buildings, limestone cottages, speciality shops, quality pubs and restaurants, and is the home of the modern Olympic Games, founded by Dr William Penny-Brookes in 1850. Stroll around the remains of the magnificent 12th century priory, the 16th century Guildhall, the interesting Norman church and the Old Gaol House. Nearby are the medieval towns of Bridgnorth, home of the delightful Severn Valley Railway, Shrewsbury and the World Heritage Centre of Ironbridge with nine museums and Blists Hill Victorian Village, plus Stokesay Castle and the historic Acton Scott Farm, as seen on TV. The attractive market town of Church Stretton and the Shropshire Hills (known as "Little Switzerland" by the Victorians) are close by and offer a variety of shops, pubs and restaurants, while Ludlow is considered one of the most beautiful towns in Britain; its medieval street pattern remains almost intact and provides a fascinating backdrop for the town's regular street markets, held in the shadow of the 13th century castle. Ludlow is renowned for its shopping and has a Michelin starred restaurant, as well as excellent tea shops, pubs and inns. The area boasts numerous farmers' markets, many arts, film and music festivals throughout the year as well as open gardens and agricultural shows.
