Learn more about hotels in Oswestry

Known as the third-largest town in Shropshire after Telford and Shrewsbury, Oswestry, with its population of over 17,000, is located at the junction of A5, A483, and A495 roads. This idyllic town—named after Ōswald, an Old English personality, and 'trēow,' an English word signifying 'tree'—has been a significant settlement since the Iron Age. The Battle of Maserfield, fought between the Anglo-Saxon kings in the 7th century, is believed to have happened in these lands.

The town has seen the English and Welsh wrestle control over it during the Middle Ages, resulting in a delightful amalgamation of Welsh and English culture, still evident in its bilingual street and place names. Historical sites such as Oswestry Castle, the Cambrian Railway Museum, and the charming Wilfred Owen Green beckon tourists. While spiritual seekers can find solace at St Oswald's Church and Our Lady and St Oswald's Catholic Church, and health tourists the required medical assistance at the renowned Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital.

When to visit Oswestry

The summer months of June, July, and August offer the best weather for exploring Oswestry's natural beauty and historical attractions. However, if you prefer crisp winters with a chance of snowfall, late December could be an ideal time for a visit, as it also brings the lowest hotel tariffs and flight costs of the year.

On the other hand, if you're looking to avoid crowds and humid weather, mid-March and April present a favourable time, although hotel and flight prices tend to rise from January onwards. Whatever your choice, Oswestry can offer an appealing getaway all year round, blending history, natural beauty, and cultural richness with contemporary experiences for travellers of all tastes.
