Shrewsbury Audio Tour: A Journey Through Time and Tide

A single cathedral stands sentinel over Shrewsbury—its stained glass glinting, secrets buried deep beneath its stones. Around the next corner, the last ancient watchtower holds tight to whispers of midnight sieges and clockmakers’ careful hands. Lush lawns and wild blossoms at The Quarry hide tales of drowned goddesses and vanished quarries just beneath your feet.

On this self-guided audio tour, twist through Frankwell’s overlooked alleys and lively parks to uncover stories most visitors rush past. Where did a missing cathedral spire rewrite local history in one terrifying moment? What long-forgotten scandal haunted the town walls’ defenders for generations? How did an oddly placed boulder once control an unruly herd right in the heart of Shrewsbury?

Trace the pulse of drama, rebellion, and reinvention as you wander from soaring towers to flower-ringed lawns. Old Shrewsbury opens up before you—layer by mysterious layer.

Let curiosity lead you. Begin where those old stones start to whisper.
