Head to an English town near Wales called Shropshire and you’ll find historic attractions. One of them is the world’s first skyscraper. The Ditherington Flax Mill, or Shrewsbury Flaxmill Maltings, was built in 1797 and became the first iron-framed building to support multiple stories. The town also boasts the first cast-iron bridge that still stands to this day. Aside from its reputation as a beacon of architecture, Shropshire has archaeological wonders and geological formations that one shouldn’t miss. The oldest complete fossil preserved in limestone was discovered in the Shropshire Hills and carbon dated to be more than 500 million years old. You will find many remarkable places to see in this unassuming town in Central England. So if you need somewhere to stay, read below to know where to book the best log cabins in Shropshire, the UK.
