Shropshire has a rich cultural heritage to discover and natural landscapes to explore, for residents and tourists alike. There are for example Roman and Iron Age sites, castles and historic buildings, theatres and museums, libraries and leisure centres, Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB); rivers and canals; walking and cycling routes including one of the largest Rights of Way networks in the country. We want our residents to increase their quality of life as well as their length of healthy life and reducing ill health to minimise demand and dependency on public services. In doing so we want to promote health awareness and healthier lifestyles within families. We want to protect our environment for future generations with clean streets, water and air, along with high recycling rates.
