The Quarry

Reviewed By Steve_of_N21 - London, United Kingdom

For what is in essence the town park to be one of the highest rated attractions for any town on Trip Advisor it must be something special, but in this case it is. The Quarry, where Percy Thrower was Parks Superintendent for nearly thirty years, is a superb open space which not only contains the excellent Dingle garden, but the beautiful rows of Lime trees that form a central avenue between the Hercules statue and Percy Throwers house, the Quarry lodge, with the excellent St Chads Church as a back drop, and also line the River Severn walkway from the Porthill footbridge all the way to the Greyfriars footbridge. The Dingle is truly superb and all I can say is do not to miss this and walk the wonderful Lime paths when you visit Shrewsbury.

This market hall was recommended to us by the proprietor of our B&B and she was right to do so. A very interesting collection of independent market stall offering produce from your standard fruit and veg , Asian and Indian street food and plenty of different arts and crafts stalls.

Arrived early on the Bank Holiday Monday to get some good walking in. Plenty of parking, very friendly welcome and helpful volunteers in which I was given a map of the estate and away I went. The walks are easy to follow, loved the deer park walk and you can get very close to the deer, beautiful walk along the river with fantastic views back to the mansion and an impressive walled garden. I didn't have time to visit the house on this occasion(will do so next summer when I'm on vacation nearby), the house opens at 11am. Beautiful place, wonderful story, given to the NT in 1947 by the dutiful 8th Lord Berwick and lady Teresa. Very good NT facilities and excellent guide book to accompany any visit. Excellent work with respect to the swallow nest boxes provided for these most majestic birds, well done to NT for this.
