Shropshire has the privilege of kicking off the county day season for 2026. Monday 23rd February 2026 is Shropshire Day, the feast day of St Milburga, a day to celebrate everything we love about this beautiful shire.
And there is much to love. The Shropshire Hills which cover much of the south of the county. The Wrekin, perhaps the most famous natural landmark in the county, all 1,335 feet of it. The River Severn, which courses through the heart of the county, curls around the county town of Shrewsbury and then on to the Ironbridge Gorge. The ancient towns of Bridgnorth, Oswestry, Ludlow, Wem, Market Drayton, Church Stretton and Whitchurch. The new town of Telford. The Long Mynd. Clun Forest. Wenlock Edge. And so much more. We raise a glass to All Friends Around the Wrekin.
