About Shrewsbury

Known for

The medieval town centre (one of the finest in England — over 660 listed buildings), the River Severn loop, Charles Darwin's birthplace, the Shrewsbury Flower Show (the world's largest horticultural event), and a Shropshire town of exceptional medieval beauty

A little history

Shrewsbury's medieval town centre — occupying a tight loop of the River Severn — is one of the finest in England, with extraordinary black-and-white timber-framed buildings on narrow medieval streets. Charles Darwin was born here in 1809. The Shrewsbury Flower Show is the world's largest two-day horticultural event.

Local tip

The medieval town centre is genuinely outstanding — Grope Lane, Bear Steps and the market hall are extraordinary. Darwin's birthplace and museum. The River Severn loop walk. The Quarry Park for the Flower Show.
