Shrewsbury is a great place to stay, whether for young or old. There are a wide range of bars to suit all tastes although the nightclubs can be a bit of a lottery. The main shopping centres, Pride Hill and the Charles Darwin Centre are very good, with the usual range of highstreet shops and a few others. As far as getting here, then it can be a bit difficult by train, with a lot of trains requiring changes at Crewe, Wolverhampton or Birmingham, and the sprinter services that connect Shrewsbury with these places are reknowned for breaking down. There are a lot of nice mediaeval timber framed houses, and the atmosphere is very pleasant. Just outside Shrewsbury there are some very pretty villages, like Condover, some great walking territory and the Welsh mountains within easy reach, not to mention some great golf courses (Shrewsbury GC, Church Stretton and Llanamynarch are three within easy distance of Shrewsbury). It is also a gateway to Wales, and the Welsh mountains, and there are a lot of outdoor pursuits just outside Shrewsbury that are worth pursuing.
