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.

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.

Been to the Santa Safari today with my wife and our 2 boys 7 & 4. Can honestly say it’s the best Santa we’ve been to see and the whole experience was superb. We were a bit worried after reading bad reviews but I can honestly say I couldn’t fault a thing. Upon arrival at the hotel we went into a Christmas theme room with hot chocolate to have. We then went up to the caves in a 4x4 land rover which was very cool. Once at the caves we were met by friendly elves who told us where to go and explained the Covid rules. The caves were great, very well decorated for lots of photo opportunities. When we got to see Santa me and my wife were amazed how good he looked. With a real white beard and a friendly smile he was superb with the kids. Spent a good 5 minutes asking them questions and making them laugh. The boys were given an avengers soft toy as a gift (better than a lot for the cheap rubbish we’ve had in the past) You then leave the caves to stunning views before being taken back to the hotel in a 4x4. Honestly couldn’t fault a single thing! Well done to everyone involved you really have made Christmas week feel magical.
