Shrewsbury

Founded by the Saxons and developed by the Tudors, there really is no other place like Shrewsbury.

Medieval streets and wonky buildings

With 660 listed buildings, the two centre, surrounded by a loop of the River Severn is a criss-cross of medieval streets that a filled with one-off shops and street names that tell a story.

Home to the famed naturist Charles Darwin, a statue of him sits outside the town’s library and explorers can follow the Darwin Trail to discover more about his early life.
