The Welsh Marches are commonly defined as the two English border counties of Herefordshire and Shropshire. The beautiful landscape of these two counties is justly famous, as are their historical towns and cities. Scenic attractions include the River Wye Valley and the River Severn, the Malvern and Shropshire Hills, the cathedrals of Hereford and Shrewsbury, Ludlow Castle, and the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution at Ironbridge - all among the many delights to be found in both counties.
