Shrewsbury's Award-Winning Town Park
Award-Winning Town Park
Although by its strange name you would not perceive the 29 acre riverside park as a green oasis Shrewsbury's urban centre.
Here you will find kingfishers, otters and sparrowhawks, just 5 mins walk from M&S front door!
The Quarry is the home of the world famous Shrewsbury Flower Show, held in August each year and the centrepiece to the park is 'The Dingle', a former stone quarry, but now a lovingly landscaped sunken garden.
Percy Thrower - the father of TV Celebrity Gardeners was in charge of the town's parks before he became a national figure - and he was responsible for the world class design scheme at the heart of Shrewsbury's town park.
