Hello
Shrewsbury has numerous things to offer, shopping, boat trips on the river, a new theatre. To get to the centre you could use the park and ride at Battlefield , its next to a large Tesco, on the north side of Shrewsbury. There are some English Heritage places in Shropshire. National trust - you have Attingham, nice for walks and the house, just off the ring road. In the opposite direction you have National trust Chirk Castle, again a nice place to visit.
Hope this helps
Annette
