With a population of around 75,000 Shrewsbury is the county town for Shropshire. Set amidst glorious countryside near to the Welsh borders, it is one of England’s finest medieval market towns. The stunning town centre is packed with timber-framed black and white buildings, steep narrow streets and alleyways all home to independent shops, high street retailers, bars and cafes – making it a beautiful yet lively and social town. The River Severn forms a loop around the town centre, offering riverside walks or pleasure boat trips. Renowned as the ‘town of flowers’ Shrewsbury was awarded Gold in the 2016 Heart of England in Bloom competition highlighting the beauty of Quarry Park, location for the annual Shrewsbury Flower Show.
