Where to stay in Kingsland
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
The River Severn does the dividing here. Kingsland stands on the bank opposite the Shrewsbury town centre, so a bed on this side means walking the Kingsland Bridge to reach the shops, the pubs and the listed streets beyond it. Kingsland House is the name on its own register.
Shrewsbury holds the rooms; Kingsland holds the quiet.
