The Hidden Highway lies along the unmarked border between Wales and England. We join it the medieval town of Shrewsbury, the most important market town in Shropshire. After exploring the Benedictine monastery and meeting up with local gardeners we travel on to Powys Castle, built in the 14th century as a fortress for Welsh Princes, stop at the tiny village of Clun on the site of an Iron Age Fort, and then to Ludlow, a castle town which eventually became the seat of government for the Council of Marches.
