3 days in Shropshire with older parents

Three days, six visits, and a rhythm that suits everyone: one place in the morning, another after lunch, and never far between the two. On day one, Astley Hall and West Midlands Safari Park are just 4.7 miles apart. On day two, Dolforwyn Castle is 3.4 miles from Newtown Textile Museum. On day three, the National Trust's Wightwick Manor is only 1.6 miles from Tettenhall Transport Heritage Museum. The longer journeys, 42.1 miles into day two and 47.4 miles into day three, come at the start of each morning, so you can take them steadily and plan a break along the way.

Base yourselves around Bridgnorth and Ironbridge. The Hurstings sleeps 4, and Holly Cottage sleeps 5, 2.5 miles from Oakengates station. No3 On The Severn sleeps 14 if the whole family is coming. Ocean Gate sleeps 8, is near a bus stop and has EV charging nearby, with Cosford station 9 miles away. Coming by train? Shrewsbury is the nearest station to Shropshire.
