AREAHIGHLIGHTS Aland of dramatic contrast. Soft, rolling countryside and forbidding crags. Industry and agriculture. Tmber and stone. Concrete and steel.

Cheshire - Derbyshire - Shropshire - Nottinghamshire - Staffordshire - Leicestershire

Start at the great gates of Warwick Castle, not only among England’s most splendid medieval fortresses but also one of the country’s finest stately homes.

No need to ride naked through Coventry, like Lady Godiva, to admire the city.

Warwick Castle

To ‘Brum’, as Birmingham is affectionately known. It grew as a powerhouse of the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century. Its civic buildings are fine examples of Neo-Classical architecture.

Up the River Severn into Shropshire to the Ironbridge Gorge. The museum here preserves the historic sites of the birth of the Industrial Revolution.

Ironbridge Gorge Take the river on up to Shrewsbury. The town is almost an island, enclosed by a great loop in the Severn.

Into Cheshire, a county whose fascination lies in its historical heritage. Chester is a treasure house of medieval architecture.

Wedgwood, Minton, Doulton and Spode ... some of the names that put the Potteries on the map. Plenty of water, marl and clay, along with coal to fire the kilns, enabled Staffordshire to become a ceramics centre.

It’s time to lace up those walking boots and marvel at the Peak District. It became Britain’s first national park in 1951 and is named after an ancient British tribe called the Peacs.

Lady Bowyer Reservoir

Chatsworth is one of Britain’s most impressive stately homes, built in the late 17th century for the 4th Earl of Devonshire.

And so to Manchester, another city founded by the Romans. Centuries later, cotton brought huge wealth to the city. As in Birmingham, the city Chatsworth House

fathers spent fortunes on civic buildings. The dramatic Urbis Museum - a high rise glass building - reflects the new Manchester.
