Hi there. We're a family of 4 ( three adults and one new baby due in January 21)
We're considering very seriously moving away from Oxford to Shrewsbury to get away from the craziness that is city life for a quieter, healthier way of living ( we spend lots of weekends away in mid Wales and the Shropshire Hills)
Any advice on where the best areas would be to live. Thinking 5 mile radius ( north, West and Southwest possibly)
All advice greatfully received)

I love Shrewsbury Katbrooks.
I haven`t been to a part that i didn`t want to return to.

Google Shropshire on Wickapedia and you will see towns and places on there.
I wish you and the family all the luck in the world and congratulations on your up and coming edition to the family.

Beware of flood risks!

I'd check out which areas have been flooded in the last five or ten years.
