Rowton Castle
This magnificent 17th-century Grade II listed building is one of Shrewsbury’s most distinguished wedding venues. Set within 17 acres of tranquil countryside, the historic castle blends timeless grandeur with the charm and warmth of a country house. Surrounded by breathtaking views and steeped in heritage, it offers a quintessentially British wedding experience.
The formal gardens at Rowton Castle were recently redesigned by garden designer Susan Dunstall, enhancing the romantic atmosphere. Soft pink and white David Austin roses, fragrant lavender, hydrangeas, and neatly clipped topiaries now frame the Linden Belvedere, a stunning outdoor ceremony space. Groundsman Steve Parke, part of the team for more than 20 years, worked alongside Dunstall to ensure the gardens remained true to the castle’s historic character.
Beyond the formal gardens, the estate features woodland walks, hidden pools, and a Victorian-walled garden rich in seasonal charm. This serene space, complete with apple and pear trees, provides a picture perfect setting for photography, especially when the garden’s intricate quadrant design comes into view.
Rowton Castle offers more than just a beautiful venue – it delivers an experience rooted in elegance, tranquillity, and exceptional service. The estate’s layout has remained largely unchanged for more than a century, preserving its authentic character.
While primarily reserved for weddings, Rowton Castle occasionally offers overnight stays, allowing guests a rare opportunity to enjoy its hospitality in full. Whether attending a wedding or enjoying a private escape, guests are welcomed with warmth and care, making every visit to Rowton Castle truly memorable.
