Market Drayton
This pretty market town lies near the Welsh border amid the rolling countryside of north [Shropshire](https://www.myfavouriteholidaycottages.co.uk/shropshire. From your holiday cottage in Market Drayton, the historic town centre will be a stroll away, along the the banks of the River Tern or Shropshire Union Canal. You will discover a maze of narrow streets lined with half-timbered and red-brick buildings, and some of the area’s best independent shops and eateries. The town was given a market charter by King Henry III in 1245, and a market is still held every Wednesday with stalls selling everything from collectibles to fresh, local produce. Do not forget to pick up a bag of the town’s most famous export, gingerbread, which is traditionally dipped in port. There’s a long tradition of brewing exceptional beer from the region’s spring water, and self-catering holidays in Market Drayton are the perfect opportunity to sample local beers at the town’s many cosy pubs. At the heart of the town, Buttercross is a beautiful stone portico, built in 1824 as a cover for the market’s stallholders. Do not miss St Mary’s Church, which dates back to 1150, perched on a rocky outcrop overlooking the river.
