Shrewsbury is one of England's finest medieval county towns, with a virtually complete loop of the River Severn creating a natural defensive island packed with timber-framed Tudor buildings. Charles Darwin's birthplace, the town has a thriving cultural scene centred on the Theatre Severn and Shrewsbury Museum, and its shopping streets are among the most characterful in the West Midlands.
“Historic county town with River Severn setting. Shrewsbury School prestige. Strong independent retail.”
