Shropshire and the Marches Regional Information

The geography of Shropshire and the Marches is characterised by a diverse landscape of rolling hills, river valleys, and rugged uplands.  It offers a mix of fertile agricultural land, wooded areas, and historic market towns.

A rural county in western England, located on the border between England and Wales, it is known for its unspoiled countryside and historic significance. 

If you’re thinking about moving to Shropshire and the Marches, then working with a property finder is the best way forward. I can give you information on anything and everything you need to know about moving here. Depending on your preferences and plans for the future, the different areas of geography will have an appeal.

Properties

Historically, the top end housing stock was born from agriculture or the industrial revolution (the majority of these large estates are still family-owned) supported by agricultural workers’ and miners’ cottages, leaving a gap in the mid-market 4-7 bed family home.  Inside knowledge is crucial for optimum access to this limited market which is exactly what I can offer you as your property finder. I can help you find barn conversions, modern developments and one-off new build projects which are aiming to feed the demand. 

The bigger towns have strong properties and are supported by the thriving, attractive market towns where there are some interesting properties to suit all needs.

Economy

Shropshire and the Marches has a strong agricultural economy with land ranging from high quality in the Severn Valley to poorer hill grazing on the upland areas.  This supports a wide range of agricultural-based businesses. 

There is no major single industry but there are a wide range of small and medium sized businesses including some based around the automotive industry.   The local economy has shown strong resilience to the national trends but is obviously affected by it.
