Step back in timeI like to recommend the smaller, quirkier parts of Shropshire to my guests, and I encourage them all to tread the footsteps of ancient drovers on the Kerry Ridgeway. The historic tracks criss-cross the forested area of the Marches, and were once the main route from Wales to London for droving cattle, sheep and geese. Along the way, you can take in the views from the motte and bailey castle Bishop's Moat, the iron age hill fort, Caer Din, and the bronze age burial site, the Two Tumps. shropshire.gov.uk Local lunchBerry's Coffee House in Church Stretton is renowned for award-winning cheap eats. All the food is locally sourced or Fairtrade and everything is homemade. The lemonade is delicious, and there are wines and beers from across the county as well as cheese scones and cakes. The quirky building was built in 1703 on its narrow site with the front door on the side of the house to maximise space. ? 01694 724452, berryscoffeehouse.co.uk Hollywood heritageThe stunning late-Victorian mansion Stokesay Court near Ludlow was the primary location for the film adaptation of Ian McEwan's Atonement. The production team fell for the mansion's unspoilt charm. It's a lived-in private home, but you can book a behind the scenes tour. ? 01584 856238, stokesaycourt.com. Tours £15pp, Tue to Sun, book in advance Bishop's CastleThis quirky little village hidden in the Shropshire hills is full of characters. It's known for its hippie atmosphere, with one house painted with polka dots, another on stilts and even a tipi commune on the outskirts. The pubs in the village are great, with the UK's oldest independent brewery, the Three Tuns, providing much of the ale. ? 01588 638467, bishopscastle.co.uk/tourism Kynaston's CaveThis cave in Nesscliffe was home to notorious highwayman Sir Humphrey Kynaston. He reportedly inherited the family home of Myddle Castle but was outlawed for his debts in 1491. He took to a cave in Nesscliffe hill and every night led his horse up a set of stone steps he carved in the rockface. The cave and steps remain to this day. shropshiretourism.co.uk/myths-and-legends ?
