There are more than 600 listed buildings within the river loop with fabulous architecture steeped in history. Traces of medieval life are common in a maze of narrow streets with unusual names. Charles Darwin, our famous son, would recognise many of his favourite haunts today.

D I S CO V E R

MUSEUMS AND TOURSOne of the best places to start your journey is the Shrewsbury Museum and Art Gallery in The Square. It is based in the old Music Hall and includes the rare, medieval stone Vaughan’s Mansion.

A must-see is the converted prison, known locally as The Dana. Built in 1793, it closed in 2013 and recently began a second life where you can sample ‘life on the inside’.

A unique way of seeing Shrewsbury is on-board the Sabrina Boat as she gently sails around the river loop.

THE CASTLE AND ABBEYRoger de Montgomery built both the Castle and the Abbey, just after the Norman Conquest of 1066. The stone castle you see today was rebuilt about a hundred years later but you can still see the

mound where the original once stood. However, three days before his death, he renounced his former life to become a monk.

Shrewsbury Abbey was also the setting to another famous monk, Ellis Peters’ eponymous but fictional detective, Brother Cadfael. If you are a fan of the books and the ITV series you can follow a special Cadfael trail around the Abbey.

POETRY AND CHURCHESWilfred Owen, the Great War poet, was local to the area. He was killed in action just one week before the signing of the Armistice Treaty. Sadly his mother was notified of his death as the local church bells were rung to celebarate the end of the war and today his memorial stands in the grounds of Shrewsbury Abbey.

In A Shropshire Lad, the poet

A.E. Housman enthusiastically portrays the ‘steepled crest’ of the Shrewsbury skyline. Those steeples belong to the beautiful churches of St Mary’s, St Chad’s, St Julian’s and St Alkmund’s.

St Mary’s lays claim to a 500 year old medieval spire, one

of the tallest in England. Near the west door is a plaque enlightening us that in 1739, a local steeplejack, Robert Cadman, tried to slide down the spire - headfirst. However, St Mary’s prized treasure is the world-famous 14th-century Jesse stained glass window, which traces

Christ’s family tree all the way back to Jesse of Bethlehem, King David’s father.

The original St Chad’s was founded in the 9th Century but the church you see today with the largest circular knave in the country, was built in 1792. In the graveyard to the back of the church is Ebeneezer Scrooge’s tombstone - a leftover prop from A Christmas Carol, filmed in 1983, with many proud Salopians playing roles.

In its own secluded square is St Alkmund’s where it is possible to see a copy of Reni’s Assumption of the Virgin Mary in the East window and lastly St Julian’s with its 12th-century tower and its East Window in which is a reproduction of the famous painting, The Transfiguration by Raphael.

THE DRAPERSThe Drapers were the most powerful guild in medieval Shrewsbury. As their wealth grew they built many of the timbered mansions you see today, including Rowley’s House and the Old Market Hall - possibly the only cinema in the country with a Tudor beamed ceiling and a medieval abacus on its outside walls.

THE MEDIEVAL STREETS The narrow alleyways that interweave the town centre date from the 14th Century and are known locally as ‘shuts’. Other street names reveal their past history: Gullet Passage, Carnarvon Lane and no prizes for guessing what used to go on in Grope Lane!

THE FIRST SKYSCRAPER IN THE WORLDBuilt in 1797, the Ditherington Flax Mill is thought to be the world’s oldest surviving metal-framed building and is currently undergoing major renovations. There are open days and tours if you want to look inside.

THE BEGINNINGS OF THE ORIGIN OF SPECIESCharles Darwin was educated at Shrewsbury School describing it as having “too much Classics for his liking” but preferring to fish for newts in the River Severn, collecting insects and inspecting under rocks in The Dingle in the Quarry Park before carrying out experiments in the garden shed where he was inspired to become a naturalist and solve the riddles of evolution.

THE CHAPEL THAT ISN’T A CHAPELIn Longden Coleham, there is what looks like a Victorian chapel. In fact, it’s the Coleham Pumping Station, once the heart of Shrewsbury’s sewer system with the buildings, boiler and two steam engines all listed by English Heritage. It was opened in 1901 and today it’s a museum with open days throughout the year.

TASTES OF THE WORLDWe have cuisine from many cultures: La Lanterna, Osteria da Paolo, Carluccio’s, Zizzi, ASK and La Dolce Vita form part of a strong Italian contingent. Casa Naranja and Cafe AleOli offer tempting, authentic Spanish menus. However, you can head east to savour the spices of Thailand and India, or simply walk across the English bridge and try Momo-No-Ki ramen noodle bar in Abbey Foregate, fly south to the Pacific with the House of the Rising Sun

on Butcher Row or keep it British with fish and chips at The Drayton.

A MEAL TO REMEMBERAs well as being one of our finest restaurants, Draper’s Hall is also one of our most historic buildings. Thick oak-panelled walls, flagstone floors and beamed ceilings - all conspire to make it a venue with a difference.

In the town centre is Cromwell’s Inn with a sun trap garden, The Hayward

Restaurant at The Lion Hotel on Wyle Cop or the restaurant at The Lion & Pheasant Townhouse Hotel are some of our most historic hotels and combine history and elegance with fabulous dining.

However there are a couple of gems that are completely meat free: O’Joy Wellness Bistro on High Street serving natural, tasty vegan food and The Good Life on Barracks Passage, Wyle Cop, which is tucked away in a quiet little spot.

Alongside the big international chains are nestled quirky one-off independent cafés. Ginger & Co. Coffee in The Square offers amazing coffee and delicious cakes in an original setting and at the end of the High Street is Chez Sophie, bringing continental culture and freshly made crêpes to Shrewsbury.

A REAL ALE TRAILLocally, the Salopian Brewery has won awards for its real ale, with its famous ‘Shropshire Gold’ - something of a local legend and served in many of the pubs and bars in town. The Battlefield Brewery opened in 2016 and you’ll find their ales across the town or alternatively you could visit them on one of their fully guided tours.

If you like to sample local beers and ciders, we have over 60 pubs where you can take a sip and enjoy the CAMRA trail. The King’s Head on Mardol, with its medieval wall paintings and the Nag’s Head on Wyle Cop, with the remains of a medieval mansion in its beer garden are two of the more unusual hostelries.

A BIT OF ALL SORTSIf you’re looking for cocktails Havana Republic, The Pour House, The Libertine, Blind Tiger, The Loopy Shrew or The ALB play host to some of the best mixologists in the business.

The Peach Tree is the perfect destination for everything from morning coffee & cake to cocktails & dancing.

In a world of shopping centres and online shopping, Shrewsbury is one of the few places in the UK where independent shops outnumber the big chains. These are shops with names you’ve never heard of where families have passed down their knowledge through the generations.

S H O P

THE UNCONVENTIONALThroughout the town there are one-off boutiques and quirky independents to entice the shopper.

Take a stroll on Wyle Cop where you can buy anything from a kimono or a chocolate pizza, to a mandolin or a rare first edition amongst the Tudor buildings.

The Parade, a Grade II listed building, with its grand neo-classical exterior and quaint Victorian interior, has 30 independent shops from tailors and cobblers to artists and jewellers. These places are made for lingering, browsing and finding that gem that no one else has.

MODERN NAMESThe Pride Hill Centre, the Darwin Centre and the Riverside contain a mix of the familiar and the fashionable. The Pride Hill and Darwin Centres are located in the only pedestrianised part of the town centre: Pride Hill.

FAMILY SECRETSMany of Shrewsbury’s most famous shops have been in the same hands, on the same site, for generations. The great-great-Uncle of Tanners Wines current owner started the business and even today, their shop on Wyle Cop looks much the same as it did in 1842. The cellars doubled as Fezziwig’s warehouse in the film A Christmas Carol.

A LOCAL DELICACYShrewsbury is blessed with wonderful markets selling a variety of fresh produce. Its main market, housed within the Market Hall at the foot of the town’s iconic clock tower, is today described as Shopshire’s answer to Camden Market. The Market Hall is home to local artisan producers, vintage sellers and a host of quality handcraft and gift stalls who stand alongside butchers and traditional stalls selling fresh produce. The market also has innovative street food cafés which are well worth a visit. It opens every Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday with early closing Thursday.

On the first Friday of the month a farmers’ market in The Square pops up, with around 30 producers offering fresh local meats, cheeses, fruit and vegetables from all over Shropshire. Much of the local produce is supplied to the restaurants in the area and served by the fabulous

selection of award-winning chefs in the region.

At the top of Wyle Cop you will find Appleyards Deli, a stalwart of the town where some of the best gourmet foods from around the UK and the Continent are on offer.

HEALTH AND BEAUTYTreat yourself to a pamper at one of our health retreats such as St Nicholas Spa (it also has its own cocktail bar) or dip your feet into a fishy pedicure at Tootsies. The town also offers great stores to pick up health supplements or beauty products. You’ll also find a selection of hair salons and in Shrewsbury style, there are independent businesses and national names.

FAIR TRADEShrewsbury’s been an official Fairtrade Town since 2011. That means you’ll find plenty of Fairtrade products in our local shops, cafés and restaurants, as well as an entire shop on St. John’s Hill.

The River Severn forms an almost perfect loop around the town with the Castle built at its only opening. It’s a moat, designed and built by nature. You can walk the whole loop or, far easier, take it all in on board the Sabrina Boat.

THE RIVEREnjoy the beautiful River Severn aboard the aptly named Sabrina Boat, Shrewsbury’s only passenger boat. You can join one of their trips which run on the hour from 11am through to 4pm with full refreshments available on board.

The towpath along the bank passes through the heart of town. When you’re ready for a rest, you can call in at one of the many pubs/inns that overlook the river for refreshments or pack a picnic and choose your spot - there’s plenty of space!

TWO BRIDGESThe English Bridge and Welsh Bridge sit on opposite sides of the town and are the main thoroughfares into the town centre. They were both built in the 18th Century but there have been bridges on site since Norman times.

TOWN WALLSThe Town Walls that once protected the citizens from hostile neighbours can still be seen today as can the one remaining 14th-century watchtower. Further along Town Walls you will find the impressive Shrewsbury RC Cathedral with its stained glass windows - an absolute must-see.

SHREWSBURY’S BURNINGLooking at many of the older buildings in the town centre you will see a variety of metal plaques on the walls. Known as ‘Fire Insurance Plaques’, they are the emblems of local insurance companies that acted as a guide to the fire companies. Each fire brigade was employed directly by an insurance company and would only attend buildings under the wing of their insurance provider. If you had insurance with another company you quickly needed to negotiate with whoever turned up first!

WHAT DO YOU KNOW?The Public Library is housed in a Grade 1 listed building

situated on Castle Gates. Until 1882 it was the main building for Shrewsbury School, where Charles Darwin was a pupil. You can still find evidence of schoolboy graffiti from that time.

GHOST TOURSAs a medieval market town, Shrewsbury is reputed to be one of the most haunted towns in the UK. With narrow passages looming over you in the dark, a spooky boat tour, a ghastly prison and haunted buildings, no one should miss an eerie ghost tour.

Walking tours usually take place every Thursday night in October and November with extra dates around Halloween

itself. Booking is essential. Call the Visitor Information Centre on 01743 258888 for full details.

Take a cruise on the Sabrina Boat if you dare, for a scary and thrilling trip ‘round the loop’. Guides will regale you with strange happenings and spooky tales of the River Severn and a bygone Shrewsbury.

There are also tours of the old Shrewsbury Prison at night - the world’s only opportunity to experience a prison officer’s life at night. Forget what you know from fiction, this event gives you a real insight into the nightlife of a 200-year-old prison.

Shrewsbury is the town with something for everyone - whether it’s a guided tour, a glass of wine in the Old Market Hall, a world famous comedian or a nationally renowned hit play at Theatre Severn.

BATTLES, FALCONS AND FINE FOODBattlefield Falconry Centre, located near the site of the Battle of Shrewsbury, is where you can book a special Bird of Prey Experience and spend time handling the enigmatic birds under the guidance of one of their handlers.

It shares the site with the Battlefield 1403 Visitor Centre

hosting one of the best

butcheries in the UK, a well

stocked deli counter, a shop

full of specialty local goodies

and a museum celebrating

the Battle of Shrewsbury.

THEATRE AND CINEMABoasting a stunning riverside

location, the theatre was

opened in 2009. Many

famous names have strutted

the stage and all ages are

welcome. Comedian Jason Manford described it as “easily one of the top five theatres in the country” and we don’t think he was joking!

Originally built in 1596, the Old Market Hall was once a reflection of the town’s prosperity. Converted as late as the 1870s into offices and a courthouse, it was re-opened in 2004 as a cinema with a unique atmosphere and is the

perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine while watching a film.

Built in 1863 as a Temperance Hall with a rich and varied past and an equally exciting future is The Wightman. Located just off The Square it hosts music gigs, art exhibitions and theatre events as well as the occasional pop-up market or fair.

FLY AWAYUsually launching from the north of Shrewsbury, Virgin Balloons can take you over the town. From up above you can see the medieval street plan, the loop of the River Severn, Shrewsbury Castle and Shrewsbury Abbey. You’ll then head across the countryside where scenic views of the Wrekin and the beautiful South Shropshire Hills await you.

WANDER INTO WILDLIFESituated near The Abbey is the Shropshire Wildlife Trust Visitor Centre. The Trust

helps to preserve the local environment and cares for 38 local nature reserves. You can find out where is best to explore our local wildlife in their natural surroundings, then enjoy a sandwich in their nature gardens.

Shropshire Wildlife Trust also own the gardens that belonged to Charles Darwin’s family. You can book an hour to walk along the ‘thinking path’ where the ideas for his Theory of Evolution germinated.

STUCK BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACEThe Quarry Park, a former stone quarry but now a picturesque park is ideal for a picnic. Its crowning jewel is the beautiful sunken garden, landscaped with alpine borders, colourful bedding plants and water features - The Dingle – is a floral masterpiece redesigned by world renowned gardener, Percy Thrower.

The Quarry Park’s iconic landmarks include: The Bandstand, built in 1879; the Harley Stone, said to be the anchor stone of the last surviving allotment where livestock was tethered on a leash of no more than 16 yards; and Shrewsbury’s main civic war memorial near the St Chad’s entrance. There is also the impressive statue of the heroic Hercules standing proudly on the riverbank. Amazingly even he can get very wet when the river rises!

Sabrina, the statue of the Goddess of the Severn, can be found in The Dingle. ‘Severn’ and ‘Sabrina’ are English and Roman versions of the same word. According to the myth, she was an innocent girl who was drowned in the river by her father’s first wife after he was unfaithful.

The Bandstand, Quarry Park


There’s plenty of live music and a variety of festivals on offer for you to enjoy. There are formal venues like Theatre Severn, informal bar venues such as The Loopy Shrew, Porterhouse or Cromwell’s Inn and larger nightclub venues such as The Buttermarket or C21.

E N J OY

EVENTS & FESTIVALSThe events and festival scene provides vibrant entertainment all year round. Shrewsbury hosts a wide range of events throughout the year, including the Shrewsbury Food Festival, Shrewsbury Flower Show Shrewsbury Folk Festival and the International Cartoon Festival.

Even though Shrewsbury’s Summer Season first started in the 1700s, our modern version now brings together a celebration of theatre with live music ranging from opera to jazz together with plenty

of family activities and fun workshops.

FLOWERS WITH FIREWORKSSince 1857, the celebrated Shrewsbury Flower Show has been popular with visitors from all over the world. The flowers are the undisputed stars of the show, but they’re not the only draw. There are also live military bands and choirs, horse shows and a celebrity guest or two – so you don’t have to have green fingers to enjoy it. However, one of its truly spectacular sights is the famous firework display after the end of each day’s closing concert.

DARWIN’S BIRTHDAY PARTYEvery February, to mark Darwin’s birthday (12th February), we celebrate our most famous former resident with lectures, walks and activities to inspire the next generation.

GET SKETCHEDIn April, cartoonists from all over the world come for the Shrewsbury International Cartoon Festival – the only one of its kind in the UK. They fill The Square with giant cartoons and you can often get your own caricature done for free as long as you’ve got a reasonably thick skin!

FAMILY FUNShropshire’s Kids’ Festival in May with a monstrous waterslide, huge foam party, workshops, sports zone, inclusion areas, theatre arts and live music is all about fun and families.

The Shropshire County Show also in May is a celebration of the rural community and the role it plays in our daily lives. With the finest animals being displayed alongside entertaining shows and events this has been a well established event of over 140 years in the town’s diary.

FOOD GLORIOUS FOODShrewsbury Food Festival, in June, is something a little bit different. Over 200 of the county’s best artisan producers set up shop in The Quarry Park where top chefs are on hand to impart some of their culinary whizz. A live music stage and a host of activities have made this festival one of the best in the UK.

PITCH UPShrewsbury Folk Festival is like no other. A music festival where you can park right next to your tent or caravan, hop on a bus into town, enjoy proper showers and toilets, use as much free WiFi as you want, safely take the children and see world famous musicians in an incredibly laid back style. Sounds good? They also ask the question, is it a music festival with beer or a beer festival with music!

Shrewsbury is a fantastic base from which to explore the surrounding area. There are two World Heritage Sites, a Roman city, Britain’s first legally constituted Parliament and the outstanding natural beauty of the magnificent Shropshire Hills.

ROA M

WROXETER ROMAN CITY2000 years ago, Viriconium was the fourth largest city in Roman Britain – they built roads that led here which still exist today. The excavation of the second century baths began in 1859, making it one of the first archaeological sites to open to the public in the United Kingdom. One of the on-site highlights, complete with frescoes and mosaics, is the reconstruction of a Roman town house built for the TV documentary, Rome Wasn’t Built in a Day, as a joint effort by English Heritage and Channel 4.

WORLD HERITAGE SITESFirstly, there is the Ironbridge Gorge, home to the Industrial Revolution and the world’s first iron bridge with ten different museums spread along the valley of the River Severn.

Secondly, there is the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and Canal which was built by Thomas Telford and William Jessop. Completed in 1805, it is the longest (307m) and highest (38m) aqueduct in Britain. It is often called ‘the stream in the sky’.

GRAND HOUSES AND GARDENSWith its own deer park, Attingham Park is an 18th-century mansion, built by the first Lord Berwick in 1785. As their family fortunes rose and fell, the Berwicks went from being spenders, to savers, to saviours.

Hawkstone Park & Follies, just north of Shrewsbury, is a fantasy land of cliffs, crags, caves and monuments built over 200 years ago.

THE HILLS ARE ALIVE!The Shropshire Hills have been long designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, You can walk for miles across hills that include the Long Mynd, Stiperstones, Wenlock Edge and The Wrekin, all having breathtaking views.

PEDAL POWERRoad and mountain bikers are in their element with the rolling hills and easy commutes to some of the country’s best biking. Just 40 minutes from Coed Llandegla and with The Long Mynd, The Wrekin, Hopton Woods and Eastridge on the doorstep, adrenalin pumping downhill runs or sedate rides are just a quick pedal from Shrewsbury.

MUCH WENLOCKMuch Wenlock is a small and picturesque town situated on the A458 road between Shrewsbury and Bridgnorth. It is worth a visit in its own right but its claim to fame is The Wenlock Olympian Games established by Dr William Brookes in 1850 and credited as a founding father of the modern Olympic Games. One of the mascots for the London 2012 Olympics was named Wenlock after the town.

UP, UP AND AWAY!The RAF Museum Cosford offers an entertaining day out for everyone with more than seventy aircraft of international importance housed in three Wartime Hangars including the world’s oldest Spitfire and a Lincoln Bomber. With a train station just a few minutes’ walk away from the Museum site along with free entry, it is a fantastic day out.

ELLESMERE LAKESShropshire’s Lake District is noted for its wildfowl, gardens, picnic areas, rowing boats,

playground, visitor centre and woodland walks. The centre also features a natural history exhibition and telescopes where resting herons can be viewed between the months of April and early May.

CHILDREN AND FAMILIESShrewsbury and the surrounding areas also have much to entertain families. There are clean, friendly farms that appeal to all ages and offer close contact with over 120 different animal species at Hoo Farm Animal Kingdom, Park Hall Countryside Experience and Ray’s Farm, all within a short drive from Shrewsbury.

The Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre in Craven Arms boasts a mammoth, a virtual hot-air balloon ride and a 30-acre meadow to explore. There are special events and an award-winning café, so make sure you don’t miss it!

JUST ACROSS THE BORDERJust a short drive from Shrewsbury is Coed-y-Dinas, an independent, family-run

s h o p p i n g outlet. With a range of items from plants to kitchen equipment, toys to camping gear and a spacious restaurant where freshly prepared, locally sourced food is served, it’s certainly worth a visit.

With over 7 acres of hands-on displays and gardens and with over 40 years of experience in sustainability practice, the Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT) inspires thousands of visitors every year. Based in beautiful Mid Wales, the Centre overlooks the Snowdonia National Park.

All of these, and more, are great places to explore while using Shrewsbury as a base.
