Weir Cafe Shrewsbury

Right by the water in Shrewsbury, this spot has become a proper local favourite for families with little ones — and it’s easy to see why. The farm animals are a genuine highlight; toddlers absolutely lose their minds over the turkeys, goats, and sheep wandering about. There’s a water feature to keep small hands entertained, plenty of shaded seating and picnic tables, and the open grass gives kids room to roam while you actually sit down with a coffee. The riverside walk is lovely, the parking is easy, and the loos are right there — which, honestly, counts for a lot when you’ve got toddlers in tow.
