Delightful winding medieval streets and Tudor houses leaning at precarious angles, Shrewsbury was a crucial front in the conflict between the English and the Welsh in medieval days. Even today, the road bridge running east towards London is known as the English Bridge to differentiate it from the Welsh Bridge leading northwest towards Holyhead. There are great places to eat and shop as well.

There is a flower show on this day, but tickets will need purchasing by passengers in advance, if you would like to attend.
