Best Western Wynnstay Hotel - Oswestry, United Kingdom 

Oswestry is an ancient market town located in the North of Shropshire close to the English-Welsh border. Its strategic position as a 'frontier town' has given it a turbulent history. Today the town still retains its vital function as a market and shopping centre serving North West Shropshire and mid Wales. The names of the narrow passageways link streets conjure up images of the past: English Walls, Welsh Walls, The Bailey and the Horsemarket. It is a locally important shopping and agricultural centre and still retains the intimacy of a rural town serving local people and home to a number of specialist and independent shops. Most of the town centre has been designated a conservation area conveying a mixture of architectural styles. There are many old timber framed houses, for example Llywd Mansion on Cross Street, the Heritage Centre, the Blackgate, the Fox Inn and the shops along Beatrice Street. Georgian architecture is also represented particularly around St Oswald's Church, where there are a number of imposing town houses complete with grand entrance staircases and front doors.
