*************

Shropshire (pronounced /'?r?p??r/ or /'?r?p???r/), alternatively known as Salop^[7] or abbreviated, in print only, Shrops,^[8] is a county in the West Midlands region of England. It borders Wales to the west. Shropshire is one of England's most rural and sparsely populated counties with a population density of 91/km² (337/sq mi.) ^[9]. The shire county and its districts were replaced by a unitary authority on 1 April 2009. The borough of Telford and Wrekin, included in Shropshire for ceremonial purposes, has been a unitary authority since 1998.^[10]

The county is centred around six main towns starting with the county town of Shrewsbury, which is culturally and historically important,^[11] although Telford, which was constructed around a number of older towns, most notably Wellington, Dawley and Madeley, is today the most populous.^[12] The other main towns are Oswestry in the north-west, Newport to the east, Bridgnorth in the south-east, and Ludlow to the south. Whitchurch and Market Drayton in the north of the county are also of notable size.

The Ironbridge Gorge area is advertised as the 'Birthplace of Industry',^[13] and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, covering Ironbridge, Coalbrookdale and a part of Madeley.^[14] There are additionally other notable historic industrial sites located around the county such as Broseley, Snailbeach and Highley as well as the Shropshire Union Canal.^[15]

The Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty covers about a quarter of the county, mainly in the south.^[16] The Wrekin is one of the most famous natural landmarks in the county,^[17] though the highest hills are the Clee Hills,^[18] Stiperstones^[19] and the Long Mynd.^[20] Wenlock Edge is another significant geographical and geological landmark,^[21] and the River Severn, Great Britain's longest river, runs through the county, exiting into Worcestershire via the Severn Valley. Shropshire is landlocked, and with an area of 3,197 square kilometres (1,234 sq mi),^[9] is England's largest inland county.^[22]

The County flower is the round-leaved sundew ^[23]
