It was unfortunately locked but there was a brochure in the porch for the Shrawardine castle ruins just opposite.
I had a quick browse of the brochure then we did the short walk to the castle remains - which is not very much.
The Shropshire council website has this info about it.
The village's landmarks include Shrawardine Castle and St Mary's Church. The castle, known as Castell Isabella by the Anglo-Normans, was built in the reign of Henry I of England, and dismantled during the English Civil War in 1645.[1] It had been held since 1644 by the Royalist commander Sir William Vaughan, whose aggressive tactics earned him the nickname "the Devil of Shrawardine".
It would be interesting to see an overview from a drone which might show the castle outline better than at ground level.
There is little information on wiki on it too.
We walked up the slope towards to high point, there is little left except a few remaining sections but from the top it offers lovely views across the countryside.
I always find it sobering that centuries of history lies in a field in a small village. The small castle fought over during times of tumultuous history. History really is all around us, & it all fills in little gaps.
I hope this unplanned stop was interesting to you too,
Dee
