This Afternoon Tea River Cruise and Hotel Stay for Two in Shropshire could be the perfect gift for a birthday, anniversary, or a “just because” treat.
This short getaway includes a one-night stay for two in beautiful Shropshire, perfect for a peaceful break, with time to explore the historic town of Shrewsbury and the stunning countryside around it. Whether you choose a weekday escape or a weekend treat, you'll have plenty of opportunities to relax and take it all in.
The highlight of this experience is a 45-minute river cruise on the River Severn, one of Britain’s most scenic waterways. You’ll board a modern, three-deck passenger boat that features retractable sides and a roof, so it’s great in any weather. Glide gently along the river as you take in the sights of Shrewsbury, including the Welsh Bridge, Theatre Severn, Shrewsbury Castle, and the striking St. Chad’s Church. Along the way, a qualified local guide will offer commentary full of fun facts and local history, bringing the landscape to life.
Of course, no relaxing day out would be complete without a traditional afternoon tea! After your river adventure, enjoy a short, scenic walk into the heart of Shrewsbury where your delicious treat awaits. Tuck into a selection of sandwiches, cakes, and of course, freshly brewed tea, a perfect end to a charming day.
