The historical town of Shrewsbury is frequently named one of the best locations for homeowners, regularly featuring in The Sunday Times Best Places to Live Guide, and it is not difficult to see why.

It is steeped in history and surrounded by some of the region’s most spectacular countryside. It is also a commercial and cultural hub, which makes it an unsurprisingly popular choice for anyone relocating to the Midlands.

Shrewsbury is within easy reach of cities like Birmingham and Manchester and benefits from a direct rail link into London, making it an attractive option for people of all ages including commuters, families and retirees.

There are a number of historical sites in the town including Shrewsbury Castle and Shrewsbury Abbey, part of which dates back to 1083, indicative of Shrewsbury’s rich heritage. The town also boasts a year-round programme of events including music, comedy and literary festivals and the famous two-day Shrewsbury Flower Show, which attracts around 30,000 people each year, boosting the local tourism industry and economy.

There are plenty of options for those in need of some retail therapy in the town thanks to a number of shopping hotspots including the Darwin and Pride Hill shopping centres and the independent Market Hall and Parade shops, which feature an array of specialist traders, boutiques and fresh produce.

Shrewsbury is also well served by a whole host of local amenities including cinemas, a leisure centre and the Shrewsbury Museum and Art Gallery, plus there is something for everyone amongst the town’s eateries and bars which include a whole host of traditional pubs, artisan bakers, cocktail bars and fine dining.

With all this and more on offer, it is easy to see why visitors flock to the town and many of them choose to stay.

Shrewsbury has a reputation for educational excellence and is home to a number of outstanding schools including Oxon Church of England Primary School and Woodfield Infant School, for children aged between four and seven years of age, along with Belvidere School and The Priory School at Secondary School.

Shrewsbury School and Shrewsbury High School are just two of the independent schools in the area while further education is ably provided by the Shrewsbury Colleges Group, the largest college in Shropshire, with the widest choice of courses available for school leavers to study.

It offers an academic path to university for those wishing to embark on A-levels while also offering a wide range of apprenticeships and vocational courses. It also provides distance and part time learning for those already in employment, helping to improve their career prospects, update their skills or learn something new in their spare time.

Shrewsbury is extremely well-connected to road and rail networks.

It is easily accessible from the national motorway network via the A5, and the M54, which links Shropshire to the M6, connects the county to places such as Birmingham, Merseyside, Greater Manchester and London, which is around a three hour drive away.

Other major roads serving Shropshire include the A49 and A41.

The town also has good rail links, with trains running frequently from Shrewsbury Railway Station and connecting to major cities such as Manchester, Cardiff, Birmingham and London.

The housing market in Shrewsbury remains buoyant thanks to its central location, employment opportunities and a wide variety of housing stock priced reasonably and representing good value for money.
