1. The Quarry

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.

We parked up after a breathtaking ride on the windy road. Walked to the Devils Mouth, and looked down on the tiny looking Church Stretton. Beautiful place, and a roller coaster type drive!

The biggest display of decorative metalwork in the UK. Featuring live work from the some of the best artists and blacksmiths in the country. The Centre created the world renowned "Spoon Gorilla" made from over 40,000 donated spoons, as seen on the BBC. The Centre was officially opened to visitors in 2014 by HRH Prince Michael of Kent. Donations are welcome for Hope House Children's Hospice. Most recent projects include the "Knife Angel" made from over 100,000 weapons which have been removed from the streets of the United Kingdom, working with national police forces, families affected by knife crime and community action groups to ensure people think twice before carrying a blade.

Wow! What a hidden gem in the countryside. Beautiful backdrop to the outside sculptures which you can hire a buggy and go around if you don't fancy walking. The inside sculptures are placed all over, dont forget to look up too! Great Christmas area for gifts and the tea room entices you with the smells of fresh coffee and warm scones when you walk in. Fantastic place to visit, I will be back for more... plenty of parking, very friendly and informative team of staff with a selection of outside garden pots and ornaments for sale so you can take something home too.

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. All undercover over two floors it was interesting to wander here for a while.

Amazing place, highly recommend. We enjoyed the family VIP experience with head keeper Ryan, who made the day out one of our best family trips ever! He was extremely knowledgeable, great fun and fantastic with the animals. Great to see so many beautiful animals so happy and healthy.

9. The Wrekin

I went up, down and around the Wrekin. It was half term and the on road parking was pretty much gone before 10am although the car park had lots of space. I kept to the main path to the summit. It was on this path I saw most people. At the trig point at the top most people seemed to turn around and descend the same way. I went over the top to pick up a permitted path and return to the car park along the side of the hill. The path down is steep be aware. The permitted path through the woods is lovely and apart from a couple of cyclists (these are not permitted ????) who thought I should have gotten out of their way, it was a wholly enjoyable experience. It was about 4 miles and just over 2 hours
