Welcome
Every year more and more people are making their escape from the dumbing-down of work and taxes, to seek solace and refreshment (which means more than a couple of drinks and a damn good meal) in England's nicest county.
Some intelligent person has had the bright idea of putting together a small selection of delightfully different country house hotels and restaurants to cover the county and, between them, offer a rich variety of Salopian pleasures to satisfy the enquiring mind and tickle the jaded palette.
Surely one of these twelve is right for you, whether your fancy lies in ancient history, beautiful blooming gardens, fly fishing, horse racing, or simply watching the long boats steal past, across one of Thomas Telford's waterways in the sky.
