LOCAL TRAVEL Touring means travel, and all kinds of transport except cycling and walking have a downside environmentally. So - look into how travel in the area can be done without leaping into a car. Remember Shrewsbury is a rail hub with lines going north south east and west, and if trains don't meet the need then buses and coaches may. For the cyclist there is a network of routes throughout the county using quieter roads and lanes, and you can take your bike on some trains.
