The following local towns are all worth visiting:

Much Wenlock - inspiration for the modern Olympian movement. The small historic town of Much Wenlock dates back to 680AD and lies at the eastern end of Shropshire’s famous Wenlock Edge in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Bridgnorth - home of the Severn Valley Railway and the Victorian Funicular Cliff Railway. Here you’ll also find the remains of the castle which today lean at an alarming angle (following a botched attempt by parliamentarians to blow it up).

Clun - a rural and historic gem. Clun’s Town Hall houses a museum. And its beautiful 16th century bridge is the oldest in Shropshire. The imposing castle ruins and large church stand guard over the town and its cosy pubs and shops. Visitors can follow the town trail to discover further hidden gems such as the Trinity Hospital Almshouses (with their quiet garden and chapel) and the Youth Hostel which is situated in the restored water mill.

Bishop’s Castle - a quirky market town with a relaxed atmosphere. Home of two breweries and two museums - and location for a host of festivals - Bishop’s Castle offers an array of interesting shops selling crafts, furniture, artwork and antiques. Other attractions include the Town Hall - an 18th century civic building hosting a regular indoor market - and the Lord Clive of India Memorial.

Church Stretton - spa town in the heart of the South Shropshire hills. Nestling between the Long Mynd and Caer Caradoc, Church Stretton - a Victorian spa town - is a popular location for picnics, walking and visits to the National Trust cafe and shop. In addition to many award-winning cafes, the town is notable for its unique three-storey Antiques Market.

How HPB works: The Bond is a life assurance bond investing, after initial charges, in properties and securities. Properties are booked for a no profit 'user charge' and Points issued with the Bond. There is a quarterly fee of under thirty pounds including VAT linked to RPI, with all other management fees paid from securities. Investment is from £5,000. Encashment may be made under the terms of the "Money Back Promise" referred to above. Otherwise you may encash after two years at a value linked to that of the properties and securities but you may not see a profit and may incur a loss because of initial charges and fluctuations in asset values. In exceptional circumstances encashment may be deferred for up to twelve months. No medical examination required.
