This is a personal project which I have been working on recently – an illustrated map of Shropshire, the county I now call home.

I love exploring the rolling green landscapes and learning about the fascinating historical heritage of the county, so I felt drawn to create an illustration celebrating it! I wanted to strike a balance between decorative and informative, so I have tried to place objects and locations on the map as accurately as possible. Featured are a number of local landmarks, wildlife, activities, historical events, folklore and even notable Shropshire resident Charles Darwin, who was born in Shrewsbury.
