Shropshire’s county town, perfectly placed in the centre of the rural county. The town centre is almost an island, encircled by a meandering loop of the River Severn with distinctive churches, Shrewsbury Castle, beautiful timber-framed houses and a sweeping riverside parkland. As you would expect for a county town, it is an exciting shopping destination with large stores that sit side by side with independent shops and the renowned indoor market. The vibrant, exciting indoor Market Hall, packed with quirky shops and exciting food stalls, has been voted Britain’s Favourite Market.
