This (free) English Heritage property is the site of a ruined medieval castle and the shell of an Elizabethan mansion. It's great for hide-and-seek, Easter egg hunts, makes a perfect Camelot and is an ideal backdrop for moody teenagers reading Jane Eyre. Living only a few miles away, the money we save on fuel can be spent on a good picnic and if it rains, we're home in ten minutes. Go on, find somewhere local and low key - do you really want to waste time in bank holiday crowds, queues and jams?

An absolutely delightful Greek restaurant that you will find as you come out of Shrewsbury train station.

The food is is well priced, but not cheap, and is to die for. We went for the meze which is a selection of Greek and Cypriot dishes including wrapped vine leaves, stuffed aubergines and more.

The meat dishes are excellent and the meze is more than enough for two people with varying tastes.

Having been here a few times I would also say to try the Mousakka, Stifado and Sfoulaki.

The waiter is quick and helpful and the food comes quickly enough so you're not left waiting.

Also try the local beers like Mythos and Keo for your memories of Greece to come rushing back.

Opposite Shrewsbury Train station, just cross over the road and you will see it.
