In central Shropshire is Shrewsbury, our county town, almost islanded by the River Severn. Nestling inside the loop of the river is a charming town with an abundance of striking timber-framed buildings which house some of the best independent shops you’ll find anywhere. Original Shrewsbury is definitely a one off!
The town was the birthplace of world-renowned naturalist, Charles Darwin. There is an imposing red sandstone castle – now a regimental museum – as well as a beautiful park known as the Quarry which every summer hosts the world-famous Shrewsbury Flower Show.
You can follow the river as it meanders through more of Shropshire. Don’t miss the little timber framed church at Melverley or a visit to Wroxeter, harbouring the impressive remains of Uriconium/Viroconium – Britain’s fourth largest Roman city. Close by the deer park and gardens introduce you to the impressive mansion that is Attingham Park.
