Whilst we think you will love Market Drayton and never want to leave, sometimes access further afield will be necessary. The nearest mainline train station is Stafford or Shrewsbury with smaller stations at Prees, Wem and Whitchurch providing excellent access to larger cities and airports whilst the A53 and A41 provides access to the motorway network heading into Wales and up and down the country to other larger cities. You really do have the best of both worlds with the rural Shropshire on your doorstep yet access to the rest of the country made easy.
