Montgomery, a cousin of William the Conqueror, earned this castle and more as a thank-you for his aid during the Norman conquest. From royal stronghold to a 16th-century transformation, Shrewsbury Castle has quite the story.

Now recognised as a Masterpiece of the School of Naturalistic Landscape and designated as a Grade I listed landscape by English Heritage, this magical and exhilarating landscape had a new lease of life with a multi-million pound restoration project enabling it to reopen to visitors in 1993. Overgrown but never fully forgotten, pathways were cleared, gullies reopened and handrails reinstalled to allow visitors to enjoy the spectacular views and surprises that The Follies reveals around every corner. Friends of the Follies can also enjoy special annual pass upgrade offers available at the gate, ensuring that the magic doesn`t end after one visit!

Shrewsbury, River Cruise, Sunday Lunch

Come to Shrewsbury to briefly explore the town, before boarding Sabrina Goddess of the River,

Detailed Overview
Pick-up Points
Departure Dates

Cruise followed by a Two Course Meal - Either MAIN / DESERT or STARTER / MAIN

Free time in shrewsbury.

Shrewsbury is the county town of Shropshire, in western England. It sits inside a loop of the River Severn, and its Tudor centre is lined with half-timbered houses. The medieval, red-brick Shrewsbury Castle houses the Shropshire Regimental Museum, where military artefacts include uniforms and weaponry. St Chad's Church is defined by its unique circular nave, and St Mary’s Church has elaborate stained-glass windows.

Sabrina - Goddess of the River

A triple deck, modern passenger boat situated on the River Severn in Shrewsbury, capable of carrying 60 passengers in comfort with a retractable sides on the top deck.

(Cruise) What you will see,

Welsh Bridge

We start our journey along the River Severn at Victoria Quay next to the Welsh Bridge, which connects the suburb of Frankwell to the Town Centre. There’s been a river crossing in this area for nearly 900 years. Completed in 1795, the current bridge has only stood at this site since 1795; its predecessor, St Georges Bridge, was further upstream near

Theatre Severn

On the other side of the Welsh Bridge, you will see the Theatre Severn. This is a modern building built to replace the Music Hall, as its audiences were outgrowing the venue. It hosts a huge variety of productions, from comedy to live music, and not forgetting its wonderful Pantomime during the festive season.

Shrewsbury Castle

A Grade I listed building, Shrewsbury Castle is situated at the head of the River Peninsula: the only part of the town centre not protected by the river loop. This meant that invaders had no choice but to make their move through water – a much more difficult task. It was the basis of many power struggles during the 12th and 13th centuries but was eventually purchased from a private owner in 1924 by the Shropshire Horticultural Society. The Castle was then the location of Shrewsbury Town Council chambers for 50 years and is now home to the Shropshire Regimental Museum.

Quantum Leap

Locally nicknamed the ‘slinky’, the Quantum Leap sculpture is the focal point of a ‘Geo Garden’ created to celebrate the bicentenary of the birth of Charles Darwin. As Shrewsbury’s most famous previous resident, you will find many references to him around the town. The sculpture also observes Shropshire’s geological diversity, as we boast 10 of the 12 geological periods.

and many more places of interest..

Two Course Sunday Lunch

Sailing at 2pm you’ll enjoy a relaxing 45-minute cruise. After which it’s just a short 5-10 minute walk to our partner restaurant to Loopy Shrew Pub, 15/17 Bellstone, Shrewsbury SY1 1HU

Sabrina Boat team steps in to take over Shrewsbury's guided walking tours

The operator of one of Shrewsbury's most popular visitor activities has stepped in to take over the town's guided walking tours.

The tours, which showcase the historic nature of the county town first-hand, were previously operated by Shropshire Council's museums service.

But with the service set to stop running them, the Sabrina Tours, which operates the town's Sabrina Boat along the River Severn, is taking over from May 1.

Dilywn Jones, owner of Sabrina Tours, and Maggie Love, lead tour guide for Shrewsbury Tour Guide Association, said they were delighted at the new partnership.

Mrs Love said: "The partnership with Sabrina Tours is a natural fit as we both share the same passion and love for Shrewsbury.

"The guides know they will do everything they can to ensure that the tours are accessible to as many as possible.

"Myself and all the guides are extremely excited to be working with Sabrina Tours from the start of May and overjoyed that the Shrewsbury General History daily tours will continue."

Mr Jones said: "When we were approached by the Shrewsbury Tour Guide Association to run the guided walks programme, it was never in doubt that we wanted to be involved to showcase and promote our fascinating and medieval town."

Led by knowledgeable and passionate local guides, each walking tour offers a unique perspective of more than 1100 years of history in Shrewsbury, highlighting key landmarks, hidden gems and lesser-known anecdotes that breathe life into the town.

Under the new partnership the daily walking tours will start in the Square at 2.15pm every afternoon from May 1 and take approximately 90 minutes.

For those wishing to explore the town from both land and water, Sabrina Tours are also offering an exclusive boat trip and walking tour discount ticket – offering participants a journey that combines a leisurely boat trip along the picturesque River Severn, followed by a captivating, guided walking tour through the charming streets of Shrewsbury.

The Sabrina boat runs on the hour, 11am to 4pm, daily, providing live commentary of the history along the river, as well as table service and refreshments.

For more information or to book a tour visit www.shrewsburytours.com or call 01743 369741.

Meanwhile, Fay Bailey, Culture and Heritage Development Manager at Shropshire Museums, said: "Shropshire Museums continues to run the popular ghost tours, Christmas Carol, and shuts and passages tours, as well as specialist subject tours and group tours.

"We are delighted Sabrina Boat are running daily walking tours, giving visitors and residents further opportunities to discover the fascinating history of our beautiful county town.

"Our tours are led by a team of knowledgeable guides and can be booked at [email protected]. For daily walking tours contact sabrinaboat.co.uk.”
