A relatively short steep climb from the A49 but worth it for the wonderful views over South Shropshire. There is a closer and shorter place to park for those not wishing to do the whole climb.

Shrewsbury Library is a busy lending library housed in a Grade I listed building situated on Castle Gates near Shrewsbury Castle. The site was the home of Shrewsbury School from 1550 until 1882. The buildings were handed over to the town in 1882 and a free library and museum were opened by in 1885. Charles Darwin was taught here and his statue still sits proudly in the front courtyard.

Visit Father Christmas in his 1750 home, along with all the fun and excitement of the Holidays.
We found this place by accident and are so pleased we did. My husband and I took our 2 children aged 5 & 9 and enjoyed every minute of it, we had lots of fun whilst enjoying the outdoors and getting plenty of exercise. We took up the challenge to find all the trolls and uncover the word they were spelling....which the kids loved! It was great for them to let off steam, they could run and shout to their hearts content and didn’t bother anyone. You do need to be abled body to visit here as it involves a lot of walking and mostly on uneven terrain...so sensible shoes are a must. There are so many things to explore here....secret paths and caves all of which added to the fun and excitement. It was also great to spend a day as a family without being accosted to spend more money or have the children asking “can I have” and even better than that was my kids were both so tired when we got home they went to bed early....a definite winner!!!!!!!

What a fantastic site! I cannot believe this is an unmanned EH property as there is so much to see and explore. Loads of substantial ruins, good info boards and stunning views. Great picnic spot and when we visited there was only one other group of people so felt like we had the site to ourselves, Easily spend an afternoon here exploring with the kids.

This is such a gorgeous little chapel and it really is truly a hidden gem well worth a visit to see what churches would have looked like in the 16th century before being over restored and renovated by the Victorians. A real glimpse of our increasingly lost past.

This is an Historical House which is mentioned in the Doomsday Book. It is located 6 miles South East of Shrewsbury on the Shrewsbury to Acton Burnell Road. The property was bought back into the family in September 2016 when rennovation started after vitually 25 years of neglect. The Hall opens for tours & cream teas arranged through the Historic Housing Association.

This is a fascinating, tiny, 12th Century (in parts) church, with a beautiful setting by the River Seven and the stone Atcham Bridge. If I may quote the well-drafted guide (by the north door), "Pick 'em and patch 'em say the six bells of Atcham" - Bells have been rung here since the 16th Century. Worth a look, as are so many details in this lovely place.

A wonderful walk of history and a must to do. Great way to experience the once upon time of this beautiful medieval town!
