    Lots to do on foot, by train, or with your rental car!
         Drive the hedge-lined lanes. Explore pretty villages. Poke around craft shops. Hunt for antiques in Nantwich. Walk or bike on trails and towpaths. Stop for high tea. Ride a steam train on the Severn Valley Railway. Leave the car at Crewe and take the train to London for the day. Go to market at Market Drayton and buy fresh gingerbread — and stop at the pub for lunch. Visit the aerospace museum at RAF Cosford. Do as the Romans did at Wroxeter Roman City. Take a hike along the limestone escarpment of Wenlock Edge in southern Shropshire. Explore the museums and galleries of medieval Shrewsbury. Ride the canal boat across the dizzying Pontcysyllte Aqueduct (126 feet high!) near Llangollen, Wales. Marvel at England's best-preserved 13th century manor house, Stokesay Castle, near Craven Arms in south Shropshire.
         Head north to Chester, with one of Europe's best-

preserved medieval old towns. Walk its encircling walls, and shop in its famous arcaded Rows. Take the train west from Chester to Conwy, Wales, and explore 13th Century Conwy Castle, a World Heritage Site. Drive, or take the train north to Liverpool, the maritime city on the Mersey the Beatles put back on the map. (Take a Beatles tour, and visit the Cavern Club and other Fab Four landmarks.) A day trip to Manchester (by car or train) lets you discover that the world's first industrialized city is now England's modern "northern capital". Head southeast to Birmingham by rail or car. Shop and stroll Birmingham's Gas Street Basin, once the hub of canal commerce in the Midlands, but now the canals are full of pleasure boats and the wharfs renovated into boutiques, restaurants, and pubs. Even Shakespeare's hometown, Stratford-upon-Avon is within day trip reach of Home At First's abbey cottages at the Shropshire/Cheshire border.
