Region: A E Houseman 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: Nestling in the beautiful River Teme Valley in South Shropshire, Bucknell offers two pubs, which both serve food and within easy reach are the market towns of Craven Arms and Knighton with their excellent amenities for visitors. This is a charming area of unspoiled, tranquil countryside, close to the borders of Wales and Herefordshire, which offers many interesting pursuits and attractions. The notable market town of Ludlow with its fine restaurants, the famous museums of Ironbridge and the thriving county town of Shrewsbury are all a short drive away.

Located in Bucknell, this cottage is in a rural area. Clun Castle and House on Crutches are local landmarks, and the area's natural beauty can be seen at Shropshire Hills and Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre. Traveling with kids? Consider The Spaceguard Centre and Ludlow Food Centre.
