Where to stay in Underdale
How the choice of base plays out on the ground.
Underdale Road sets the line. The district runs between Monkmoor and Castlefields, so a bed here sits within a walk of Shrewsbury Abbey at one end and the Telford Way at the other, with the Shrewsbury centre lying past the abbey. Rooms are few on these streets.
Abbey House and Abbeydale House mark the older frontage at the abbey end, where the walk in is shortest.
