Tour Overview
Take in the gentle atmosphere and striking beauty of Shrewsbury and Lichfield on this wonderful two-day break where we enjoy a delightful cruise down the River Severn, observing the splendid sights as we glide along the waterfront.
Itinerary
Day 1 : Shrewsbury
Situated on the banks of the River Severn, the medieval market town of Shrewsbury is a delightful place to visit on a coach break to Shropshire and surrounding area with National Holidays.
The town is one of the UK’s most visited heritage cities, steeped in culture and history, which retains a timeless appeal thanks to its timber framed black and white buildings which line the maze of cobbled alleyways.
Today Shrewsbury enjoys a vibrant atmosphere with a bustling shopping scene, featuring a blend of designer shops and small independent boutiques, and calendar of festivals and events throughout the year.
Day 2 : River Severn Cruise
At 220 miles long, the River Severn is the longest river in Great Britain. Starting in the Welsh mountains, the river meanders through lovely countryside in Shropshire, Gloucestershire and Worcestershire to the flatlands of the Severn estuary. The river is fringed by historic cities, cosy waterside pubs and stunning cathedrals, and offers picturesque views at every turn. A leisurely cruise along this famous river offers the perfect chance to sit back, relax and admire the idyllic surrounding scenery.
Day 3 : Lichfield
Dating back to 1153 when King Stephen granted the first market charter, the cathedral city of Lichfield plays host to a vibrant market every week in the picturesque market square. There is a wide range of great-value goods on offer at competitive prices, including Italian ladies wear, leather handbags, jewellery, antiques, books, baked goods, plant and much more. A visit here is the perfect chance to grab a bargain or two!
