| Thank you for subscribing to our Visit Oswestry newsletter and welcome to all our new readers, we hope you all had a lovely Christmas.
Have you planned your 2023 holiday? Are you dreaming of a Spring getaway? Oswestry is an ancient market town in Northwest Shropshire, so close to Wales that you can enjoy exploring both sides of the border. We say Oswestry is friendly, historic and surprising and we would love to show you why.
Historic Oswestry began 3000 years at our iron age hill fort. Since then, our lively market town has grown and is surrounded by awesome castles, beautiful landscapes and stunning industrial heritage. Don't miss the UNESCO World Heritage site of Pontcysyllte Aqueduct or one of our heritage steam railways.
Our visitors say it's surprising just how many things there are to see and do near here. Are you ready for a break this Spring? Maybe it's time to book that staycation or holiday you have been dreaming of.
