Beautiful setting and gardens. Military Museum was excellent really found this an interesting few hours. Lots of history on Kings Shropshire Light Infantry through the last couple of hundred years. Enjoyed my afternoon visit.
Interesting castle housing a military museum of the Shropshire regiments and their involvement in conflict. Great views from Laura`s tower within the grounds which are well kept.
There was quite abit to look at and information to read, it was a very nice first experience for my children who has never been inside something like this before. There was some clothes for role play and a gift shop at the end, so they were quite happy. The man on the front desk has some very helpful information about the fire that happened in the 90s and all the staff were very friendly.
Fabulous views on the city, river and beyond. Well worth a visit, the garden and walls a free to access.
Stunning castle. The views from Laura's Tower are amazing & the museum is fab too. There are toilets onsite. No parking specifically for here but there's car parks all over Shrewsbury (including 2 next to the prison which is just behind here).
Beautiful day for a stroll and sit in Castle grounds. Great views of the surrounding countryside from Laura's Tower. Spent more time than expected in museum. Fascinating insight into the history of the Shropshire regiments.
The level of memorabilia from wars is astounding.
Ranging from hundreds of years and every corner you turn there's something more interesting than the last.
I never expected this much in such a small castle.
Its also a real eye opener to what happened during these times.

To be honest I wasn't expecting much but yet we managed to spend hours in it because of the kids activity hunts. Beautiful building and very interesting displays. Very proud of their history of the county regiments but I wish there was more about the castle itself besides a small room that if the shop keeper didn't tell you about you would walk right past it.
£15 for a family ticket. 2.5hrs to get round doing the activity hunts. Kids enjoyed it.
