Wednesday - Shrewsbury

I started reading Ellis Peters’ Brother Cadfael books many years ago (long before the TV series) so fancied a visit to Shrewsbury. As the caravan site at Chirk is close to the station I was able to leave the ‘van on its pitch and “let the train take the strain!” Shropshire Council have published a book of three walks around the town, “In the footsteps of Brother Cadfael” so I decided to follow all of these. It did give me a much better sense of the geography in the books, and it’s surprising how many of the sites are still identifiable even though the buildings themselves have changed.
