SHREWSBURY sits in a loop of the River Severn and has over 600 listed buildings at its centre. There is no better way to tell the town’s story than by experiencing a RIVER CRUISE, a fun and interesting commentary will be given as you take in the sights. After we have a delicious CREAM TEA at the ORCHARD CAFE set within the beautiful surroundings of Shrewsbury Cathedral, overlooking the town walls.
