This tour is back by demand. The backcloth of Shropshire’s rich patchwork of fields, wooded valleys and picturesque rivers makes this once industrial county an ideal place to enjoy a relaxed few days. Embark on a journey through time in the country where man made iron and steel blend with some of the best scenery in Britain.
The Telford Hotel & Golf Resort is a four star hotel overlooking the green and rocky surroundings of Shropshire. Thoughtfully designed rooms offer widescreen TV and tea/coffee making facilities. There is a superb waterside bar & restaurant and the hotel also has an indoor pool and a lift.
