Region: A E Housman once wrote that Shropshire was “the quietest place under the sun” and today the county remains something of a rural idyll, recognised as one of the least crowded and most peaceful regions in England.

Town: Marton is a small rural hamlet in the centre of lovely Shropshire countryside, close to the Welsh Border and the famed Offa's Dyke Path. Marton has a shop and a tavern, and Welshpool, a close border town, provides a variety of services. Overall, a great calm location for exploring all that Shropshire has to offer, including the World Heritage Site of Ironbridge Gorge.
