We are off to the lovely town of Shrewsbury. Full of character and interest. Plenty to see/do. Set on the beautiful River Severn. There is a big choice of Shops, Museums, Coffe/Cake venues, Ancient Pubs, Castle, Quarry Gardens, Riverside walks etc. Something for everyone. Probably its’ most famous son is Charles Darwin. THEN we will board the Sabrina Boat at Victoria Quay  for a leisurely cruise along the River Severn. A guided commentary is provided plus tea/coffee/biscuits. After  disembarking we will rejoin our coach for a guided tour of Shrewsbury. Our Guide will be Martin who has been Shrewsbury’s Town Crier for many years and at 7ft 2″ is the tallest Town Crier in the world. He will be in his full regalia. Sit back and enjoy.
