Tourist attraction in Shrewsbury

“We popped in Thursday 18th of September 2025 , for something to eat with my wife and daughter, because we haven't been to Shrewsbury for years, my daughter had a 4 day break in the city. It's a quaint little cafe , service with a smile and friendly. Reasonable prices good atmosphere it was about 3 o'clock ish and still busy , but got seating okay. Food was lovely and it was prompt . So all in all well worth a recommendation to come again when we next return from Liverpool. Thanks again all staff and cooks from the Taylor trio liverpool.”

“What a fabulous building so much history. Run by English heritage so free for members. Tours are a must they are fabulous. Free car park for members”

“I can’t rate this branch in Shrewsbury high enough. They are amazing especially Steve. I just ring up, give my details, dates and times etc and Steve just does all the work for me with an end result of me having a holiday booked with no stress at all. The help received is above and beyond and I can ring anytime if I’m not sure of anything. So thank you Worldchoice travel Shrewsbury for all your help. If ever you want the stress taken out of booking a holiday then this is the place to go.”

“Steph was super helpful, she was very organised, and made the booking process care free and super stress free. If we had any questions, she knew how to help straight away, highly recommend having steph if your booking your next trip! Thank you again!”

“On arrival the owners were extremely friendly and welcoming. On a Friday and Saturday its a tasting menu. Each course was absolutely delicious. The quantity of everything served was high. A real taste sensation The basil icecream was a beautiful surprise. All areas were spotlessly clean. Service was spot on. Highly recommended restaurant.”

“It took us just nearly 4hrs to walk all around, including some sit down breaks and time to enjoy the views. We were blessed with a wonderful weather to enjoy the beautiful views. We had great time. Make sure you have wear comply footwear or even hiking boots as some of it was quite hard going and our feet and legs were hurting by the end. I would recommend and will most likely return it the future.”

“The Dingle is an absolute gem in the heart of Shrewsbury’s Quarry Park. Once a quarry, it has been transformed into a beautiful sunken garden with colourful flower beds, water features, and a peaceful fountain. It feels like stepping into a hidden oasis—calm, serene, and full of charm. The planting is stunning in every season, and the history behind it makes it even more special. A perfect spot for a quiet walk, photography, or simply to sit and enjoy nature. Definitely one of Shrewsbury’s highlights!”

“Great welcome, fast service, beautifully presented and tasty food. Everything on the menu looked great”

“Good walks with some stunning views from the highest points. Some tunnels where a torch is needed and some rough pathways so good footwear is needed. Well worth the visit.”

“We went to see the Christmas decorations within the main house. There's no extra charge for National Trust Members but you still have to book a time slot. Absolutely fabulous displays with really interesting info boards to explain the function of each room at Christmas, and some very clever themes applied to the decorations. Fun activities for kids, some very enthusiastic and knowledgeable volunteers to support the visit. Well worth a look if this is your kind of thing”

“Beautiful park next to the river Severn. Riverside walks, children's play & water parks. Great cafe next to the leisure centre. The Dingle Garden is full of interesting plants and a pond.”

“I love this cinema watched some great films here it's great to support independent love the cafe attached”

“We’ve had 2 owl experience’s now and enjoyed it each time, Lisa is very engaging with the audience and has a wealth of knowledge about the birds she cares for, highly recommended.”

“We had a wonderful weekend with extended family staying in tents and safari lodges. The accommodation was fantastic, the lodges were luxurious, clean and spacious. The facilities were fabulous, particularly the biotop pool and the kids beach area. We had an age range of baby to 70s and there really was something for everyone. Plus all the staff were so helpful and nice, even collecting a birthday cake which had been incorrectly delivered for us. We will be back…highly recommended. Ty.”

“My little one loves going here. They have a wonderful mix of farm animals, which you can feed (the animal food to cheap here compared to other places). They also offer lamb milk feeding which is so cute. They have a barn with cars and bits in, a lovely park and a woods to walk through which help to provide variety and extend you visit. The food and drink is good quality (they have a variety of home baked goods) and for low prices.”

“I visit Café on the Cop weekly to buy breakfast sandwiches for my office team. And I recently ordered some cupcakes from them for a corporate event. I ordered 24 vanilla cupcakes filled with jam, with a colourful rainbow theme. Safe to say we weren't disappointed, the cupcakes were delish and went down very well with everyone. Wish we'd ordered more! Thank you to the lovely ladies at Café on the Cop, I will definitely order cakes from you again for our next event.”

“Amazing venue to hire for a party - highly recommend!”

“Good to see Wem Town Hall working well in these times. From here the meals on wheels service is being run in this crisis. Well organized use of volunteers. Flexible responsive and caring. Delivering quality food from local caterers including their own in house cafe team. I expect MBE's for these selfless people Mr Johnson, in due course. I am sure our "servant for the whole of her life" gracious Queen will be delighted to bestow such recognition.”

“We were on the lookout for a spontaneous dinner and drinks spot and were pleased to stumble upon The House of the Rising Sun. From the moment we arrived, the customer service stood out—they made sure we were accommodated even though we didn’t have a reservation. Since it was a last-minute night out, we ended up seated at the high chairs, which were a bit uncomfortable, especially if you’re dressed up (like in a tight shirt dress). The interior design is impressive—stylish and atmospheric, though a little too dim for dining. It feels more like a place that’s tailored for drinks and conversation. One standout feature is the bar with its aquarium-style backsplash—absolutely eye-catching. We tried the Teriyaki Beef and Chicken Katsu. The katsu was excellent—crispy, flavorful, and definitely best enjoyed with rice. The beef, on the other hand, was slightly chewy and not as tender as expected. For drinks, we had the classic Mojito and their signature cocktail, Land of Smiles. The latter was a highlight—refreshing with a unique spicy kick that really elevated the experience. Overall, The House of the Rising Sun is a lovely spot for a date night, especially if you’re after a cozy ambiance and creative cocktails. We’d definitely go back—hopefully with a reservation next time!”

“Had lunch here today, we really enjoyed it. Was excited to try the takoyaki as I’ve seen it online and never tried it. Was not disappointed! Cocktails were lovely also. Will definitely be back again, thanks guys :)”

“Good night at the bingo everyone enjoyed themselves”

“Newport show as always brilliant family day well organised plenty of shade on a hot day very relaxing plenty for everyone”

“Stopped in for lunch on Saturday, lovely food, cooked well and excellent prices. I had Roast Turkey and my husband had Fish and Chips, both really tasty. Definitely recommend.”

“Best soft play I've been to in a while - lots of zones, suitable for all ages. My 8mo loved it. You guys do need a better system for the toddler juice and toast - 20 mins wait for the toast, can't you just have a pile ready to pass out?!”

“I had the cheese steak burger it’s was juicy and flavourful and the chips was equally as nice washed down with a pint of cold river! I was served by Jake the manager on shift couldn’t of been more helpful and kind”

“I contacted Shaun regarding a theatre break and he responded quickly with price and date options for me to choose from. He was really helpful and sorted everything out, saving me having to do all the legwork. Highly recommended.”
