If you like your towns with a bit of history, a lot of character, and just the right number of tea shops, then Shrewsbury is your kind of place. Birthplace of Charles Darwin (before he went off studying worms and finches), this medieval market town is bursting with quirky streets, black-and-white buildings, and plenty of places to rest your feet and refuel with cake.

Wander through the winding Shuts and Passages (yes, they’re really called that), browse the independent shops, or admire the beautiful Riverside Gardens — all at your own pace, with no rush or reason to hurry.

It’s easy to fall for Shrewsbury’s old-world charm — and don’t worry, we’ll handle the hills (and the driving). You just bring your walking shoes and your appetite for tea and nostalgia.

Your day includes…

• A beautifully preserved medieval town centre
• Independent shops, traditional pubs & tempting bakeries
• Lovely riverside walks and gardens to sit and unwind
• Historic buildings and crooked streets full of stories
• A relaxing day where you’re never far from your next cuppa
