Walked up to the viewpoint above Shrewsbury Castle to find this lovely little tower. Lovely views from this location.
Super views of Shropshire. A bit slippery in cold weather but definitely the best views in the town.
Charming little tower on the grounds of the castle. Fantastic views of the canal, castle and town. Worth a look.
The tower is not an open tower though.

This is a nice place to visit, especially on a sunny day. There are steps on the walkway up, but they are shallow and well spaced out. Once up beside the tower you get lovely views of the river. It is surrounded by trees so you don't get 360° outlook.
Lovely place to go on a nice day. Gives you a good view of the surrounding area of Shrewsbury. Me and my girlfriend go and sit in the gardens with an ice cream on a nice day.
We tried to visit the castle and tower on Sunday but was disappointed to find it closed. We managed to find a spare half an hour Monday to come visit. It's a lovely tower with limited views of Shrewsbury. The tower itself was closed which was slightly deflating so missed the chance to see a better view from up the tower. Lovely little castle though so worth a look.
Visited on a hot Sunday afternoon 05 August 2018. It was a pleasant easy walk up to Laura's Tower with a large flat viewing area by the Tower. There are pleasant views back across the town and down to the River Severn.
