Nestled within the historic Ironbridge Gorge, Jackfield Tile Museum is a captivating destination that showcases the rich heritage of tile-making in Britain. Housed in a former ceramics factory still actively producing tiles, this museum offers visitors an engaging glimpse into traditional craftsmanship through live demonstrations of tile-pressing, decorating, and firing processes.
This museum is amazing, this was the first time I have visited , the tiles are amazing such an incredible variety . There is even an interactive room where you can design a tile or do puzzles etc the children would love it as would adults . It wasn't very busy which is a shame as it really is a lovely place to visit .tucked away at the back of Ironbridge. Lovely staff brilliant place Ironbridge is just fascinating

Interesting museum if you like that sort of thing, I thought it was very enjoyable. The staff were friendly and welcoming, especially in the cafe.

Wonderful museum about tile making in the region, the owners and how they came to be in the area, how tiles are made, different tile styles, and more. There are examples of many tiles, including mini recreations of pubs, lounges, bathrooms and more to show how tiles were used. We spent about an hour but could’ve lingered a little longer. Small cafe, shop, and toilets onsite. Parking included with Plus Pass or approx. £1.50 per hour.

One of many museums in the historic Ironbridge area. Extensive, colourful and varied selection of ceramic tiles. So much to absorb. Excellent cafe and friendly staff. All set in a beautiful location running parallel to the river Severn. Always plenty of craft activities for children, especially throughout holiday times. Plenty of parking and much more, all within walking distance of the museum.

A fabulous collection of beautiful tiles. The museum is calm and peaceful. The displays are an absolute joy and the whole place was both an education and a delightful experience.

The museum displays stunning tiles from the Victorian to Art Deco eras, including those that once adorned churches, railway stations, and public buildings. It also features reconstructed workshops showing the artistry and craftsmanship behind these beautiful designs.

We didn't really know what to expect from a 'tile' museum, but was pleasantly surprised. Our little children (1 & 4) loved the children's activities (baskets of coloured blocks and tiles to build with and make pictures) and our teenager really enjoyed finding the matching tiles in the activity pack. The museum was clean and very well set out and the tiles were beautiful. The cafe and shop were also very nice.

Nature & Parks
Telford Town Park is not your typical city park. Voted the UK's Best Park in 2015, it offers a wide range of facilities and attractions for visitors of all ages. From an aerial ropes course to five children's play areas, an adventure mini-golf course, cycle center, water play areas in summer, fishing ponds, and a visitor center with a cafe - there's something for everyone.
Amazing park, seriously has something for everyone—great playgrounds with slides, swings, rocket slide, spider’s web, sandpit and water splash zone, plus teen, inclusive and sports areas. Clean toilets at the Visitor Centre, lovely picnic lawns and gardens, and it’s dog-friendly (just keep them out of play zones). Whether you're looking to relax, explore trails, or get adventurous, it does it all—even a zoo!

Superb public park, great play area. Would recommend to anyone with a family. Loved my time here plenty of local attractions ( cinema /outdoor adventure / ice rink) in close proximity. An open area restaurant plaza is adjoining it. With many family favourite chain restaurants. All in all a great day out.

What an absolutely stunning facility for everyone to use! One of the best play areas in a long way!! Quite frankly, a world class play area and that says a lot having been to play parks around the world! Great bike tracks and so close to the Telford Shopping Centre for all the food and shopping g you can do on top of the day at the park! Definitely worth many visits!!

Lovely park have to walk through for work etc it’s kept very clean and it’s lovely in all seasons of the year! Quite a few different walks of the town park as well, a big playground for children and it’s right next to town so it’s walkable also has a food and drinks stand, not sure when this is open though and has the visitor centre next to the playground. Nice park to visit 👍👍

Best park around - love it love it love it. It's what makes Telford great! Slides, water area, wooden obstacle area, Arena. The LA have invested loads into it. Night time is not 🚫 great. If you let your kids out unsupervised here at night it's more of a you problem than the park. So just be mindful.

Wonderland is a fairytale-themed adventure park located in Telford, Shropshire, offering enchanting experiences for families with young children. Set in nine acres of natural woodland, the park features beloved characters such as Snow White, Alice, and the Mad Hatter.
Kids loved pretty much everything about it and as an adult I wasn't disappointed . Very age appropriate for our 1-2 year olds, they were able to go on the rides and enjoyed the fairy tale scenes, the few dinosaur models were a hit too.

Haven't been for a about 4 years due to the price increases however not much has changed. Had a great day but think now kids am 6 it's just overdone and more for younger ones.

We've visited Wonderland for 3 years in a row. Each time has been a good experience. Whilst the attractions remain the same, there's always new & fun things to do at the park. From face painting, hair braiding, decorating biscuits, performances from characters, meeting princesses and having a tea party with the mad hatter. The kids always enjoy the experience. There is an inflatable obstacle course within the castle that is overseen by a member of staff and plenty of toilet facilities. There are a couple of food places where I had a really sickly beautiful biscoff waffle. Coffee isn't great but they can't have it all! Also good to note, the Mad Hatter is played so so well by the member of staff employed. He really goes the extra mile with the children. 10/10 for him!

I want to thank one member of staff in particular, emily duff. We came to the halloween night friday evening, My son has autism and he couldn't handle the jumping out and screaming at him, he was so frightened we just couldn't calm him down. Emily came and sat with him, showing its just dress up and even walked round with my son, calming him and making him smile. She went above and beyond for him and we are so extremely greatful. Thank you so much emily, you truly are a angel xx

Excellent for young and old. Having returned as an adult with two kids after many years this place brought back some fond memories. It was a little dull and overcast with the odd shower but still plenty to do. The staff were very friendly and helpful and really made an effort. The Mad Hatter kept everyone entertained and the inclusion of the rides and crazy golf made the day very good value.

Blists Hill Victorian Town is a living museum situated in the Ironbridge Gorge near Telford, Shropshire, England. This open-air museum transports visitors back to the 19th century, offering a vivid portrayal of life during the Victorian era. The town features restored industrial sites such as coal and iron mines, blast furnaces, and ceramic works alongside a charming Victorian townscape complete with various shops and businesses.
Fantastic day out to this living museum. Set in 1900 dozens of buildings have been moved brick by brick to this site and faithfully recreated. Staffed by knowledgeable people who take on roles in the shops and houses dressed in period costume, they great you and give you an wealth of information. We started in the Bank where we changed modern cash into shillings and pence which can be spent in many of the shops. We went around the shops there was so much to see, grocers, butchers, bakers, candlestick makers, sweet shop to name but a few. There are various houses, a school, a fairground the list just goes on. Catering is great and not over priced, you can get traditional fish and chips for £9 in the chip shop or there are two other large cafeteria. It was a fantastic day out with so much to see. I bought the really great value Pass Plus, you can go back as many times as you like in 12 months to this and about 5 other museums in Iron Bridge, you get free parking, VIP fast track entry and 10% off catering and gift shops. Real Value for money and well worth supporting. It was a great day out.

Fun, historic town. Lots of great little shops that have been used to fill lots of the buildings with authentic businesses from around 1900. In proper dress and character docents. Terrific stop for anyone driving through ironsgate village. Super nice area for kids to play and experience what it was like 125 years ago. Loved this place, but too many stores had no one to explain what you were looking at. The fish and chips were fresh and delicious

A truly wonderful, insightful visit. It was amazing revisiting as an adult after coming here as a child, what a fantastic experience to share with my 13 year old son, who was just as impressed as I was. A huge mention to the wonderful staff who make this experience incredible. Every member of this team from the reception throughout all the staff who are in full Victorian character are absolutely amazing. A real credit to this set up are you guys. You were all so welcoming, engaging, knowledgeable and totally endearing. What a fantastic landmark we have and to share such an incredible part of our history. It makes us and you feel proud of our heritage. Thankyou 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Really enjoyed our visit to Blists Hill Victorian Town. I haven’t been here since I came with my primary school, so glad to see it’s still as amazing at 23 as it was back when I was 8 (I walked in and remembered the layout and the fun memories of my school trip there, if that doesn’t speak volumes of how amazing this place was and has continued to be then I don’t know what could) . Went as a family day out with our dog, we were amazed at how dog friendly it was, out of everything there were only two places we couldn’t go with our dog which was no bother and completely understandable (sweet shop & bakery). The animals located in the town were well cared for and friendly with knowledgable handlers who were more than happy to answer questions, clearly knew the animals likes and dislikes and spoke fondly of their quirks showing a love and dedication for their four legged cast members. Our favourite Victorian character was the local police man (and his “cousin” singing in the pub - who was a very good singer). We met him on our way in and straight away were greeted with a welcoming warmth before he directed us towards our first stop of the day the post office for our very own dog licence which was decently priced as were a lot of items sold in their other shops around the town. My mum’s favourite activity was George’s carriage ride. The beautiful boy took us both and our dog around the town, he looked happy and well taken care of which as long term animal people it was a joy to see him comfortable and enjoying his work. My favourite stop off was the last one of the day for us. It was the printing shop which we visited after having a ride around the town in George’s carriage. Inside the printers we were taken through the different printers, how they are used to help create prints for the village and answered our questions from possibilities of injuries to how the different printers work in terms of changing letters, sizing of letters etc (it looked like a lot of fun and now I wish I could own one). we came away with a couple of notebooks and a postcard that fit perfectly in with Halloween. We will definitely be looking at Blists Hill Victorian Town for future day trips out, and we hope next time we visit we’re in the season for the use of the fair ground as it would have been lovely to have seen those in use.

Wow..What a excellent Victorian Town Everything as it was back in the day. You feel like you're in the Victorian Era. I got myself a one off adult single ticket, £27 Oct 2025 prices, you can buy a multiple pass to see other extractions which works out cheaper in Ironbridge area. It started with a short guided tour at 11.30 with Emily, She was so friendly, kind and so enthusiastic and told us all along short history about the town. The Town itself has shops,Bank, butchers ,bakery, clothing shop and a forerunner to WH Smith with a post office, and plenty of other shops. And don't forget to have a sing song at the pub on the corner The mine as well is a great reminder about how hard it was to work here and the forge, and the tile factory. The houses are open so as you enter you will find now and again a person dressed up and he or she will tell you about the house. There's a few places to eat and have hot/cold drinks. I had a trip as well in the carriage with George the shire horse pulling us around the town. The car park, you pay on exit ,just make a note on what time you actually park. I paid ( £6 for 5hrs, Oct 2025 prices) A must visit while you're are in the area of Ironbridge.

I visited Blists Hill Victorian Town about 20 years ago, and it was great to come back and see how it’s changed. It’s still a fun and educational day out! I loved the traditional fish and chips from the old-fashioned chippy and the Victorian-style photos. It’s a shame you can’t get some of the old-fashioned sweets they used to have, but we really enjoyed the singalong around the piano in the pub which was definitely a highlight of the day.
Kris — Google review
Definitely would recommend visiting Blists Hill. We spent numerous hours with our 10yr old son and he loved it as did we. I’d suggest going on a dry day as there is lots of walking outdoors and the fish and chip shop should you choose to go to doesn’t have indoor seating. Staff were all very pleasant and knowledgeable. Well worth the visit.

Visited for the Blists Hell Halloween event The spooky atmosphere was fantastic the setting and ambience were really well done and made for a really eerie vibe. Of the few scare actors I managed to see, those I did encounter were absolutely brilliant especially the clown with the balloons, the plague doctor, and the Nosferatu-style vampire. They really brought the event to life and deserve a lot of credit. Unfortunately, the event was let down by overcrowding. It was difficult to see everything due to the sheer number of people, and the queues were SO long. I queued 45 minutes for fish and chips, and another 20 for the bakery, not the fault of the vendors, but a clear sign of how overcrowded the event was. There were quite a few intoxicated and stumbling guests, which did feel inappropriate given how many young children were present. At one point, several areas were closed off due to fire alarms, which caused a lot of confusion and crowding. The movement of the crowd during that time was very chaotic almost like a stampede and raised concerns about how well safety was being managed. Finding staff was also hard with so many visitors in full costume, it was hard to tell who was part of the team. The atmosphere was affected by some rude behaviour from other attendees pushing swearing, and a general lack of courtesy. While the event itself had potential, the crowd size and lack of control made it hard to enjoy. Wouldn't rush back but that has more to do with the overcrowding and rude attendees than the event.

Hiking Trails
The Wrekin is a prominent summit located near Telford, offering picturesque hiking trails and stunning views of the surrounding countryside. This iconic landmark, once home to an Iron Age fort, is easily accessible from the M54 motorway and attracts hikers from both local and distant areas. The hill's formation can be traced back to volcanic activity, resulting in a diverse range of igneous rocks. While the sides are densely wooded, the open summit features remnants of the ancient Iron Age fort.
This is such a great hill climb and very peaceful once you reach the top. The walk up the hill is not too difficult but you will require a fair fitness level to do it without struggle. There is a nice quaint half way house half way up that let's you know you are only half way up even though you may think you are nearly at the top surely 🤬🤣. The second half of the walk up is the hardest but also the best as the views become really beautiful and air is really fresh. You can see for miles once at the top on a clear day it is definitely worth the climb up to see the landscape from up there it truly is a great experience.

As others - Parking at The Wrekin Forest Glen Car Park. Parking charges are card only, some free spaces before the car park but they go quickly No other amenities are available at the car park - amenities available at the half way house Cross the main road onto the start of main track, walk up is longer and steeper than you think, trig and top visited- excellent views across the surrounding areas, definitely worth a visit if in the area

We had a gorgeous Boxing Day Lunch today, the service was second to none by Phoebe our waitress, friendly, attentive, funny and informative she was a delightful young lady. The food was absolutely delicious, no waiting in between courses and every course was cooked to perfection. The atmosphere in the restaurant was fabulous, all the staff were smiling and friendly. The crackers were a nice touch although the jokes were terrible! We would definitely recommend to our family and friends. Thank You All.

The food was delicious and the service was great. Our waitress was very polite. The only downside was that we had to remind the waitress to bring out our bottle of wine, and the restaurant was far too hot. I had to take off my shoes and socks as I was too uncomfortable. But other than that, it was lovely x

Got the Sunday Sharing Board. Couldn’t fault the food except the mash could have been hotter. There were three price tiers for wine which we assumed was glass/pichet/bottle. Server didn’t seem to know and even though we ordered “medium” we’re given a single glass at the lowest tier price. Overall, I would definitely recommend and I will for sure be back. Only real negative for me was the fact that a dress code was emailed ahead of the reservation and this didn’t seem to be upheld by a lot of other patrons.

Only criticism and I didn’t say anything in house because I didn’t want to send the food back, the chips were piping hot but the main course was cooked but cool.

We were blown away by our first ever visit to Restaurant 1840 in Dawley, Telford, a former Methodist chapel where the tables were created from original chapel pews. We had three courses and every course was delicious. The restaurant was impeccably clean, with the cutlery being noted for its cleanliness. The waiters, all youngsters, were impressively polite and we didn't get called "guys" (apparently the staff are not allowed to use that term). The wait between courses was just right and the ambience good, with gentle music at just the right volume. If there is any constructive feedback then it can only be that the plates could have been hotter, other than hot plates is a pet hate of mine, but the temperature of the food itself was fine. My late dad, at one stage during his life used to be a Methodist preacher so to be in a former Methodist chapel was good. We were suitably impressed to book a future visit and look forward to that occasion.

Just WOW!! Our first visit for our anniversary and we were greeted by lovely staff and shown to a table upstairs with a lovely view overlooking the restaurant. The food was stunning, not one criticism at all! It's so nice to have more interesting menu options like venison, pigeon and pheasant. We were offered complimentary tasters between courses which was a lovely addition. The staff were very attentive and timings were spot on. I can't wait to go back! Thank you so much for a wonderful evening!
Soph — Google review
The phrase "hidden gem" is typically overused hyperbole these days, but Restaurant 1840 really does meet the criteria. Tucked away on Stirchley Lane is a beautifully repurposed church, offering a rather unique restaurant setting. Outside, there is a car park for 13 to 14 cars, a comfortable outdoor sofa area to the front and a decking are to the rear. After being warmly greeted in the reception/bar area (an 'add-on' which does not form part of the original church building), you pass into the main dining room which would have previously housed the church pews. There are certain bits of church paraphernalia remaining (an organ, bits of pew), but nothing overbearing or gimmicky. We were seated downstairs, but there is an upstairs area that looks over the main dining area. A viewing window offers an interesting open view into the kitchen. The room is cosy but at no point did we feel intruded upon by, or too close to, other patrons. We were tended to very promptly and warmly by our dedicated server. Our order consisted of a glass of Malbec each, BBQ Pork Bites & King Scallops to start, and Duck & Fillet Steak mains. Complimentary bread with a red pepper butter, which was bursting with flavour, was provided pre-starter, which was a lovely touch and really built a sense of excitement for the courses proper. Staying true to the teaser we'd just been provided, the courses themselves were deliciously cooked and teeming with flavour. After tasting each other's food, my fiancée and I immediately began drawing dividing lines as to what was available for pilfering from the other's plate. The only issue of the evening was that my fiancée's steak arrived medium to well, rather than the ordered (and recommended) medium rare. However, this was swiftly and discreetly rectified by the personable and professional manager. An entirely new meal was provided (not just the steak). A total bill of £90 was definitely worth the tastes on offer and the air of exclusivity that comes with the more intimate venue. We will definitely be returning to sample more of the menu and would encourage anyone looking for a serious restaurant experience in Telford to try Restaurant 1840.

A great quality restaurant in Telford. An unusual setting of an old church which has been transformed into an aesthetically pleasing venue. The staff, whilst all young, have been well trained and are attentive to diners needs and requests. The food was excellent, using quality meat products or fresh vegetables and well cooked. We were in a larger group and only a couple of issues being soup which wasn't very warm, which was taken and heated up, and the pork belly was a bit thin and subsequently was over cooked and dry. So other food was excellent and the team all commented on how good it was. A bit pricey but worth a visit for something different. Have returned several times, mostly as a large party, and the quality has remained each time. Attentive staff and quality food.

What a lovely local gem! The atmosphere and seating was cosy and very comfortable. The staff from the minute you enter the old church are so welcoming, friendly and they make you feel very special. The food is just simply amazing, with a good choice of menu, using mainly local produce. There was no rush, so this enabled you to enjoy your food and company you were with, staff attentive but not intrusive. Absolutely perfect and would thoroughly recommend this restaurant to family and friends.

Had a wonderful meal at Bella. The food was wonderful, well presented and came in a decent amount of time. Our server Liam was a lovely man, professional, charming and diligent with a very friendly, warm approach. Nothing was too much trouble and will definitely be returning very soon. Only criticism, not for us but for Bella was our server didn't know how to take a tip via his tablet, so we were unable to leave a tip as we had no cash on us.

If you're on the lookout for a delightful dining experience during your visit to Telford, Wildwood Restaurants is a stylish and modern eatery that serves up an array of European and international favorites. Nestled conveniently near Southwater Square, this restaurant offers not only a vibrant atmosphere but also an extensive menu that caters to all tastes, including options for kids.
Ended up here with a large group of colleagues having been at a conference nearby. Smaller pizza with salad was brilliant - great pizza base, lovely toppings and the French dressing to the salad was very tasty. Waiting staff were friendly and incredibly patient when it came to a large group settling the bill - happy to provide additional receipts for people etc.

As we were staying at the Travelodge which is opposite the restaurant we thought we'd give it a try, and it didn't disappoint. The menu had plenty of choice and a good selection of drinks at a very reasonable price especially as I was able to use my Blue Light card. I had the seafood casserole and hubby had the double pepperoni pizza which he requested with additional chillis which was no problem and we were very happy with our choices...very fresh and hot. Service was prompt, staff were professional and friendly.....all good 👍

Calamari had no flavour and risotto seemed microwaved, pizza is dusted with something that goes everywhere and pudding was nuked to much and burnt my mouth. Atmosphere was cold and felt like there was no love. Tables were dirty and never wiped from all the drink stains I can see. Did not appreciate the forced 10% tip and you must be the only restaurant to do this. Didnt leave feeling anything but know I won't be back sadly.

I highly recommend Wildwood restaurant in Telford. The food was absolutely delicious! The biggest applause, however, goes to the chefs – Kamil and Bartek. Not only do they serve exquisite dishes, but their positive energy also creates a wonderful, friendly atmosphere in the restaurant. You can see they cook with passion. We will definitely be back!

Really great service, food and drinks. Now trying their fantastic and reasonably priced lunch menu. The new menu including a stunning Wagyu burger. Has GOT to be tried!

Had a fantastic meal at Wildwood! Every dish we tried was spot on—from the crispy fries to the rich chocolate brownie that paired perfectly with vanilla ice cream. The service was on the ball too; we were greeted warmly and the staff made sure everything was just right. The atmosphere was lively but relaxed, making it the perfect spot to unwind. Can’t wait to come back for more!

Friendly, warm, clean. Good staff and very good food. Not badly priced either considering what we ate and drank. Portions were generous.

Nando's Telford is a vibrant Afro-Portuguese restaurant renowned for its flame-grilled chicken, generously slathered in spicy chili sauce. Recently, I had the pleasure of celebrating my son's 13th birthday there with his friends. The staff were incredibly accommodating, arranging seating for our group of nine and even allowing us to bring in a cake to celebrate after our meal. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, making it an ideal spot for family gatherings or casual outings with friends.
Excellent foods. Many options. Value for money Superb staff behavior Very clean

Me and my partner went here for a late lunch (around 3 o'clock).. we got to choose our seats which was nice for a change, I picked a window seat to people watch, ordered online and the cups for our unlimited drinks came within a minute later.. food served about 10 minutes after that.. sizes of the sides seemed quite big and the chicken was cooked to perfection, everything was extremely tasty and served hot! The toilets were very clean also, the atmosphere was quiet and relaxing, the lady who came to check if our food was lovely gave a great suggestion for pudding and explained it's quite filling so they'll give us a goody box to take the rest home. Overall fantastic experience and a beautifully cooled meal! Well worth the money, partner had butterfly chicken breast with the flavouring of sweet BBQ, I had sweet BBQ grilled chicken wrap 🤤 both had sides of peri peri chips and coleslaw with 2 unlimited drinks £37

Food was okay. Didn't have to wait long to be seated or receive the food despite it being a busy Saturday afternoon. The woman serving us called Sasha was very helpful, made sure we had everything we needed and gave me a leftover box whilst looking after other people

Another great Nando's here in Telford! Spacious, very clean, and had my favourite special back on the menu so it was perfect. The staff were welcoming and due to a busy early evening session...their friendliness was slightly subdued. My friend's half Nando's chicken looked delicious and was and my special "Portuguese chicken livers" was back on the menu, so good and so delicious! Thanks Nando's for another great meal and restaurant! Recommend...
