The unmistakable red stone of Shrewsbury Castle, now home to the Shropshire Regimental Museum Trust, is a landmark in the centre of Shropshire's historic county town.

Here you'll now find items including uniforms, medals, weapons and photographs stretching back to the 18th century.

You can also get married here, with the beautiful walled gardens a great backdrop for anyone's special day!

Entrance to the castle gardens is free, and well worth a gander if you're passing by.

Castle originally from the 11th century, later rebuilt. Accommodate the Shropshire Regimental Museum (Military Museum). From the tower you have a nice view of Shrewsbury and the surrounding area. Access to the museum for a fee, to the castle courtyard with tower free.
