General walking tours

We offer year-round walking tours of Shrewsbury from the visitor information centre at Shrewsbury Museum and Art Gallery, in the heart of the historic town.

We have 30 carefully selected and trained green badge and blue badge guides, who have a vast range of experience and knowledge of the town, and present informative and entertaining commentaries on the history of the town, coloured by their own personalities.
