Oswestry, north of Shropshire and sitting just on the Welsh border, is a charming, historic Shropshire market town. Oswestry is a thriving community with quaint, independent shops and a vibrant market surrounded by castles and plenty of history. Whittington Castle stands tall just on the outskirts of town and is a fantastic day out for the whole family to enjoy. If you’re a keen golfer then Oswestry golf club’s reputation as an excellent course, home to two Ryder Cup Captains, is a must visit during your time in Shropshire too.
