Town Walls Tower Tour 2025
Take a rare opportunity to step behind the door that hundreds of local people walk past every day on this special tour of Town Walls Tower.
Built in the fourteenth century to provide protection against Wales. Delve into the history of the tower on one of our pre-booked, timed tours.
Town Walls Tower is one of the National Trust's holiday cottages and this adds a completely different flavour to the tour.
The history of the building is still very evident making this quirky cottage definitely worth a sneaky peek. All tours are pre-booked and National Trust Members must produce their cards on arrival. Tours start promptly as space inside the tower is very limited, so late arrivals may not be able to be accommodated.
Please note:
- Meet at the Town Walls Tower - Shrewsbury. Please be aware that there is no parking at Town Walls Tower. Public pay and display car parks are available around Shrewsbury.
- Due to its small size, entry is by tour only, limited to five places on each one.
- Please note Town Walls tower is made up of small rooms, with low ceilings. Access is via steps and there are steep stairs throughout.
- Due to the size of the tower children must be closely supervised at all times. Due to the small size of the tower there is no access or storage for buggies and we recommend the tour for those over 10 years.
- National Trust Members should book a free ticket in advance and bring their membership card.
