At the heart of the Shropshire Hills lies the Long Mynd with the rocky outcrops of the Stiperstones to the west. Visually, these two ‘hills’ are very different – the Long Mynd is a large and long plateau, while the rugged outline of the Stiperstones ridge is unmistakable. Together, they make up the largest area of heathland in the Shropshire Hills. Come late summer these hilltops are a sea of purple and not to be missed. Along with the heather a variety of other plants flourish here including bilberry (known locally as whinberry), and this in turn attracts many insects and birds – look out for a green hairstreak butterfly or stonechat on the gorse. At the heart of the Shropshire Hills, this picturesque market town has been a popular visitor destination since Edwardian times. It retains a variety of independent shops, traditional tea-rooms and pubs, alongside restaurants with different cuisines. This is a town with a thriving cultural life, as reflected in its musical events and festivals, plays and the largest Art Exhibition in the county.
