Shrewsbury in General

Having already read some fantastic reviews on the town of my birth, I wasn't entirely sure if there was much point in me adding my two penneth. But having spent the first 18 informative years of my life growing up there, I decided I perhaps do have enough Shrewsbury trivia to warrant an alternative guide to Shropshire's county town. Of course if you're looking for valuable information on National Trust sites in the area or the opening times of Shrewsbury Market, then the Tourist Information Centre would perhaps be a better port of call. But if you're intrigued by some of the more obscure stories behind the town, then I hope the following will be both entertaining and ...  Read the complete review

Before I moved from the South East, the border towns of Shrewsbury, Chester, Ludlow were just names on a map. If this is the case for you it needs putting right. All three are worth visiting and here I am going try and tempt you to consider Shrewsbury. So is it worth it? YES.

Surely, Shrewsbury is one of the most pleasant towns in England. I’m very fond of all the towns situated along the marches bordering Wales. From Chester in the north to Chepstow in the south there are some beautiful places to visit, Oswestry, Ludlow, Hereford and Monmouth are all regular haunts, but to my mind there’s nowhere quite like Shrewsbury for a day out. It has everything, beautiful surrounding countryside, historic buildings, a castle, a meandering river, a lovely park, an impressive collection of shops and some great places to eat and drink. I quite often go with my wife and daughter to Shrewsbury on a Saturday (when it ...  Read the complete review
