Top 38 things to do and attractions in Ironbridge Gorge

It was a fun place to visit, children would love it. Very interesting things to play with. Perfect for a rainy day

Visited with kids ranging 3-7 in age. Lots of hands on experiences for everyone. My personal favourite was moving a steam locomotive by hand. The only criticism - it was absolutely boiling inside on a failry cool October day, especially on the raised walkway. Which makes me think its the lighting that generates the heat. If anyone from the museum is reading this you should switch to LEDs and save a ton of energy costs.

Had way too much fun here. Definitely worth a visit if you get a pass plus for the locations covered in Iron Bridge. Lots of hands on STEM things to get the kids thinking!

What a great day out. We used our pass plus and spent 3.5 happy hours here. So much to do, a place for picnics and it was amazing to see a sensory room for neurodivergent children. My favourite was trying on all the costumes and playing the video games in the visiting exhibition. We also did the toy workshop which was great

Really good experience for young inquisitive minds who enjoy interactive exhibits. My 5 year old son loved it. Only took us 1.5 hrs so the price is a bit steep (£12 me, £7 him). Ample parking. Toilets on site .

Not that large, but good fun - reminds me of 'Launchpad' at The Science Museum. Lots of interactive exhibits that kids will enjoy playing with - as always seems to be the way with these things, though, not everything works properly. The 'water cycle' exhibit was a firm favourite with #2 son, whereas the live topographic projection onto a sandpit was a winner with his older sibling. Definitely worth a visit.

I was here 20 years ago and always longed to come back. I was not disappointed. Ingenious models demonstrating mechanical advantage. I even pulled a steam locomotive a few feet! Many museums in the area and one can get a deal on multiple visits. Just go and take the kids!

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.

The tiles were stunning, I thinknI was expecting to be able to see a workshop of some sort.

An interesting museum showing the history of iron in the area and how this small town became the centre of the industrial revolution. There are two floors of exhibits and lots of information panels explaining how important Coalbrookdale was at the start of the Industrial Revolution.

A fabulous and very interesting museum. Love the iron work and history. The tour was free and in depth, however it was very slow so ideal for those taking their time or with mobility issues. The kitchen was not great but think it was just an oversight.

Fascinating and very well explained. Worth a half day visit - and the cafe serves good food too!

Very nice museum, lots of information about the area, technology and the people involved. Maybe even too much information, there is quite a bit to read. Maybe a few more interactive things would have been nice. Don't forget to visit the old furnaces outside.

A fantastic morning spent at the museum. Really informative, great staff and excellent displays. I got the multi pass for the area museums and it's money well spent. Im sure I will be back.

A fascinating backdrop to the Industrial revolution encompassing paid and free places to visit, the free furnace, the free art and gallery and paid exhibitions. All to be topped off at the excellent cafe restaurant.

Visited today 16 September . Lovely day to visit especially with a free tour outside. David our guide was very good at explaining all about the history of the place. Would recommend a visit here . The museums are very interesting . Lovely cafe too.

Disappointing, but we do understand it floods. Thought there could have been more information on the whole museum collection. However, because it was quiet we bought our multi site tickets there. Very informative reward there. Well done. Tony.

Felt sorry for the girl behind the information desk when an elderly gentleman asked for some information on something out of the area. She didn't know the answer, so she offered to google it for him, for which he said, "I could have done that myself", why didn't he? Poor girl. There's not much to see here. it looks like a half-hearted job. More entertaining in the car park.

It’s free & it could be interesting, to a degree. The fact that it gets flooded frequently probably presents challenges insofar as what to do with the place & the space going forwards. It seems under-utilised, rooms are half empty. Why fill them extensively if the next flood isn’t far off though?

Free to see, and mostly a one room exhibit on the Merrythought teddy bear whilst we were there (a little unusual as they were never in this location). There were a couple of signs about the building itself, and interesting markers showing the flood lines over the past 250 years. Also has a shop and toilets available.

Interesting use of the old building . With a collection of the Merrythought bears & soft toys. The late Sunday effluent release into the river was a spoiler to a great day

Lovely old building and quite a bit on the Merrythought Bear factory and local flooding, which was interesting, but not many actual exhibits...possibly due to the risk of flooding? Worth a look all the same.

A lovely small free museum about Ironbridge And the people that worked there back in Victorian times, and Merrythought teddy bear factory. Kings Charles has a Merrythought teddy bear as you will see in one of the pics at the museum. It has some lovely old pics and a few memobila on show. Car parking. It does have a coin machine but that was out of action, so you would have had to pay via a app. I found a small car park Waterloo St car park about 7 mins walk away, it takes coins in the machine. Toliets are just across the way in Wharfage car park.

Spent a couple of hours here. Very interesting. The dress up at the end was really fun. We used my pass plus so I don't know how much you would pay if you had to buy day tickets.

I visited this place and I liked. Everything in this house originally belongs to the family of Abraham Darby. You can at this house wear clothe Victorian times.

You get there under the railway bridge and up a slope on other side. Two houses to see as part of Ironbridge experience. Second house more refurbished than first. There are toilets nearby.

Lots to look at. The highlight was dressing up. And the lady who showed us around, told us lots of interesting information on the house and the family that used to own it.

Lovely to see two preserved pieces of history in these houses. Two excellent guides told us a lot about each house in turn. Not a great deal to see in Dale House, but Rosehill House had some excellent displays. You won't spend hours here, but well worth visiting.

Very interesting after being in the museums and then seeing where they lived, ladies at the entrances were friendly and knowledgeable, well worth a visit

A little gem, a lovely house that shows how the family would have lived. If you read all the information and look about, it will take about one hour to get round. The staff was very helpful. The house itself has no disable access as it has rooms upstairs and access is rather steep. Another house is in the process to be done up, so I am waiting for the grand opening.

Pleasently surprised. Nice little museum in a lovely village. Roads are a bit tight to get there, but was enough parking at the site and in the surrounding roads. The guide didn't turn up for our tour, but really it didn't matter, we could walk around and read the information boards. It is well laid out, quite uneven paths and wooden stairs to go up and down, as you would expect in an old building. Considering there isn't a huge amount you can learn about clay pipes, we were there just over an hour.

What a fascinating museum. Who would have thought this hidden gem was nestled between houses. I could picture the workers and the conditions they would have been working in. Thank you to Kate our tour guide, for a very informative tour.

It was fascinating tour about the history of pipes. I got so many information. Guides were so knowledgeable and friendly. At the end of tour was workshop for preparation of pipes by clays.

Not ideal for people with mobility issues as most of the exhibits are upstairs. An interesting look into how the works evolved and final shut finally to reopen as a museum, limited opening times so book your visit in advance.

What a brilliant place, you can feel the history here, it's so good that this place has been kept for future generations to realise how hard life was our ancestors.

Fabulous time capsule of clay pipe making. Superb guides take you around the factory, you need to book, free to Ironbridge Gorge Museums Pass Holders. You also get to see pipes being made 😍

Broseley pipe museum is one of those quirky places that are fun and interesting to visit buy the bulk ticket for all 10 museums near Ironbridge it lasts for a year at £26 per adult it's fantastic value enjoy your stay in Telford

Ironbridge is stunning location and the Museum just adds to the appeal. If you haven’t been pay a visit .. we were just returning from an October wedding and had a couple of hours spare. Short visit but very sweet.

Tucked away behind barriers and blue covers, this incredible piece of economic and social history. Jaw-dropping awesome.

A very interesting place, there is lots to learn here. Perfect for a rainy day.

Feel like a criminal, photos on entry. money grabbing all the time as well as expensive entrance fees so unlikely to return. I've just returned from Australia where most museums and heritage venue were free entrance and public transport was cheap sometimes free so no parking charges either

Great museum with lots of interesting things to do for young and old alike. Also has a restaurant attached which we didn't use but it did look popular.

Lovely, friendly staff Unfortunately not dog-friendly Some interesting indoor and outdoor exhibits with lots to look at and read about Watch out if on top floor on the hour as the bell chimes and is very loud! (We learnt that the hard way 🤣)

Quite impress about this place .

A nice little museum, it only took 15 minutes to walk around and read all the information boards. It was worth visiting to find a little history out on the Ironbridge. There was a shop too. You can walk over Ironbridge and see the river and take in the lovely scenery. Then you have the shops, cafés, etc. Ironbridge is a great place to visit.

The Toll House sits opposite the the village at the end of the Ironbridge that spans the river Severn. The ironbridge was the world's 1st iron bridge built in 1779 and is a UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE. Set in this beautiful village that has attracted visitors from around the world for many years. Today crossing the bridge is free. So you can marvel at this amazing structure from on top or the path below besides the river Severn. Loads of gift shops and a few cafes are available close to the bridge. We'll worth the visit and the only cost was the car parking. At this time of year its great as the village and bridge arnt packed with loads of visitors. Would definitely recommend for all the family.

Marvellous little free museum at the end of the famed Iron Bridge. Used to be the Toll House for the bridge and it has an interesting history. I liked the highlighted fact that ferry operators who had been put out of business by the bridge were exempt from the Tolls. Anyway being a Toll House it is very small but it is full of interesting information boards about the bridge and surrounding area. It has a two floors and is well kept and immaculate. Lovely friendly helpful staff too, namely Laura and Mell (see I did remember). It has a small shop as well. Well worth a visit!

We popped in here yesterday (15/6/25) very interesting exhibition. The chap that was staffing the place chatted to us for ages, he was so interesting and informative about the bridge and the local area, he was brilliant. A man perfectly fitting his job.

Great little free museum on the history of the Ironbridge & of course, being the toll house for the bridge, it is conveniently situated right next to it!

Free small museum about the Ironbridge’s history set in the original tollhouse, which was in use from 1779-1950, and still displays the original tolls on the exterior. It’s across two small floors, and worth 15-20 minute stop to learn more about bridge’s history - including how it came to be built and restoration work over the years. Also a small shop for souvenirs.

Welcoming informative staff. Plenty of information both on the tollhouse and on the other museums in the gorge area.

The ruins revealed much about how iron was made. The structure is massive and situated near the river, making it easy to see why this location was chosen for functional and efficiency purposes. I only wish more of it had been preserved and that there were additional displays to help children and adults learn more about its history.

Very well preserved within a purpose built building. It would be good to see on a rainy day. Free to enter and very informative

Remains of an 18th century steel furnace. Well preserved, you can't get into the site fully as fenced but worth a quick photo stop if nearby. Free parking while you are there and information board detailing the history.

It's lovely to see our industrial heritage being preserved for future generations. It's free and there is free parking.

We parked there and did walks from there No facilities Good free parking and a short walk to pub or town

Very interesting. Had a nice walk around then had dinner in the pub garden

Bedlam furnaces is by the roadside, no tickets required. So basically, pull up, look, read the information sign, take a photo if you want , and leave.

Popped in to ask what a "fuggle" was and ended up having a lovely and informative chat with Derek the owner. Left with a bottle of amazing Gin! A little gemof a place... Highly recommend!

Just popped in whilst having a slow plod around the square after a light breakfast in the tea emporium. The young lady was very helpful and knowledgable. Wasn’t looking to buy anything, really but ended up leaving with a nice Japanese whisky after having samples of a couple of different bottles. The range they have on offer is quite something, considering the shop is quite small. Lots of nice whisky at reasonable prices. I think I’ll probably pop in closer to Christmas to get myself something a little special under the guise of buying Christmas gifts! :) Parking is a bit of a pain on the square, but there is parking up the hill or on the road.

Derek was so helpful. Spent ages with us explaining the differences between the wines and whiskies we showed interest in. Recommended something completely off what we would normally go for and hit the nail on the head. Really competitive with price even compared to supermarkets and you’re supporting an independent business. Very passionate and knowledgeable about his job!!!

took my Dad here to choose a Birthday present and at first he was very apprehensive as he has anxiety but was quickly made to feel welcome and taken through Rum options expertly - he was so chuffed and even bought a second bottle, thank you so much for your wonderful customer service.

This place is wonderful! The staff members are incredibly helpful and friendly, making for a most pleasant shopping experience. The owner is very knowledgeable, and the selection of goods is outstanding. I highly recommend it.

Little gem of a place fully stocked with a fantastic selection of drinks. Derek the owner was friendly and very knowledgeable.

Amazing all the different gin/rum/whisky/Brandy/vodka and a lovely owner who has a passion for it. Would love to take some home but alas home is South Africa. Also has Cuban cigars.

The Iron Bridge is seriously impressive, especially when you see it in person. It’s such an important landmark—the first of its kind—and you can really appreciate the engineering and history behind it. Walking across the bridge with the river below and the surrounding old industrial buildings gives you a real sense of stepping back in time. Plus, the nearby museums and trails make it a great spot to explore for a few hours. Definitely worth a visit!

I love the area, so scenic and classic English feeling to the town. On this occasion I was passing and stopped for a drink and a sausage roll. Visited many times before, lots to see do and enjoy. Great for families.

Beautiful bridge with lovely views over the River Severn - free to see and walk across, and a prime spot in town. Built in 1779, it was the world’s first bridge made of cast iron and became a symbol of the Industrial Revolution. Be sure to pop into the small Tollhouse museum beside it for more insight into its fascinating history.

Ironbridge is an absolutely beautiful place with the world's first iron bridge. We planned to stay here for two days, but we're going to stay for another, because there is so much to see and do. We bought a ticket to all of the Ironbridge museums. It's well worth the money, and the various museums give a wonderful insight into the industrial heritage of the area. If you don't want to pay for the museums, there are enough free museums and lovely shops and walks along the river, in woodlands and in the valleys and gorges.

Fantastic landmark, well worth a visit. You can really feel the history of the place. The town is stunning as well, like something from a film. Incredible.

I remember having to learn about this bridge in GCSE Geography. So much more impressive to actually see it. I do like a good bridge, and this one was a masterpiece of technical wizardry. On top of this, the setting is very pretty. The town is a delight to work around, though pretty steep(!)

Beautiful historic town, nice pavement cafes and indoor seats as well, Beautiful views from the Iron bridge of the river banks and cottages and nice walks along the river. Also historic museums.

Lovely place,great exhibition. Well worth the visit.

an incredibly well made tiny museum- what a gem!

Small museum interesting, lady tarring a coracle and was interesting to talk to her.

These bears aren’t cheap, but they are such good quality. Christine was so helpful with helping me choose the right bear. She was so knowledgable - I was after a bear bought 5 years prior that had since been discontinued. I’m really grateful for your help and knowledge Christine. Thank you!

Wow! What a cool place this is! Beautiful Teddy Bears, one of the last places to make them in England! Absolutely wonderful choice. They're a premium product at a premium price and would make a great present for adults and children alike. Staff super friendly and helpful and great public parking access next door. 10 mins walk from the Ironbridge itself.

The most amazing company I've ever had the pleasure of doing business with !! I found the perfect gift for a very special person and Merrythought committed that I would have it in 4-7 days from the UK to the middle of the US. Can you believe it arrived in 3 days from the time of order to delivery. I was absolutely gobsmacked and overjoyed with the professionalism, attention to detail, follow-through on commitment, and overall joy when my home security system notified me the package had been delivered. I recommend this company whole heartedly and will look forward to doing business with them again as I prize "saying what you'll do and doing what you say" above everything. My heart is now filled with such joy that I am able to share a very special gift with someone I am growing to care a great deal about. Thank you Merrythought for bringing that dream to reality and being a company I can rely on to follow through on your commitment. You are AMAZING and the BEST in my book. Cheers and longevity for many years ahead. You certainly have a loyal customer here. - CL

I am delighted with my first ever Merrythought bear, Bertie, which I have been wanting for quite a while. He is gorgeous and beautifully made. It really put a smile on my face receiving him during quite a difficult time.

I got three bears of the same kind. Those bears are so lovely. One is a birthday present for my sister, one is a thank you gift for my friend and one is for myself. One more bear in my collection. Thank you for the fast shipping. m(__)m

Lovely shop with a helpful lady and great selection of bears made in the UK. I bought Felix, really pleased with the bear and glad to contribute to a local business!

Received a Merrythought bear - Punkie Polar Bear Cub - I got it as a birthday gift / not only is the bear cub super cute, but you can tell the quality is top notch. To think it was made by hand is so rare these days. Thank you Merrythought for creating such fine bears that all ages can enjoy!!!

As locals, we have had many great bouquets from Lisa. This made it a no brainer that we chose Lisa to do our wedding flowers, and what a fantastic job she did! She is such a lovely lady, every meeting with her was easy, she listened to all of our ideas and gave some great advice through the planning process. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a florist!

Highly recommended Nettie! I rang her after a failed attempt with moon pig to get flowers to my mom on her birthday. She had already had a busy morning with a wedding, but nevertheless she was very accommodating of the situation and was able to meet my budget and still deliver the most beautiful bouquet (definitely better than what I was expecting from moon pig) This is definitely a fine example of support you local businesses! Thanks again 💜

Went on the Spring Bouquet Workshop today with my Mom for her birthday, as I thought this would be something nice for us to do together. It was fantastic from start to finish. Lisa was a fabulous teacher with lots of patience! We both learnt lots and now appreciate how much work goes into preparing a bouquet. It was thoroughly enjoyable and even had a glass of fizz and homemade cake to finish off the afternoon. It’s clear to see Lisa is very passionate about what she does and it really shows. A fabulous workshop, beautiful bouquet to take home, would definitely recommend her work and taking part in a workshop if you love flowers 💐

I have attended two wreath-making workshops at Nettie's, I came away with a Christmas wreath last year and an autumn wreath today. Both experiences were intimate, fun and relaxing. Lisa provided the most delicious food and drinks, keeping us always topped up whilst teaching us about flowers and plants. Nettie's workshops are wonderful for picking up new skills whilst getting to know new people in a relaxed, welcoming and non-judgmental environment, plus Lisa's passion for flowers makes her a natural teacher who really encourages each person to follow their own taste and inspiration. I would highly recommend her workshops to anyone looking for a different experience. She also sells beautiful bunches of flowers and a range of decorative vases, pots, candles and room fragrances.

The most enjoyable workshop that I have ever attended. I thoroughly enjoyed making my own wreath and Lisa provided an extremely relaxed and personalised experience to which I felt very comfortable. Lisa even provided drinks and a bite to eat which was perfect for the 10-1 session I attended. I would most definitely attend the workshop again and I am very happy with the end result. Worth every penny. I have also previously purchased flowers (last photograph) from Lisa and the quality is beyond perfection.

Working with Lisa for our wedding flowers was an amazing experience. When we were first engaged we often bought flowers from NOTG to place by where our dog used to sit in the living room before she passed away, and always loved Lisa's unique style and vision for flowers. We decided that once we had a date and venue that we would ask for her to be our florist. It is so impressive how Lisa was able to take our ideas and turn them into something so special. We wholeheartedly know that no one else could have created what she did - so many of our guests complimented our flower arrangements throughout the day and wanted to know where they had come from. Lisa is definitely doing the job she was always meant to do and we would highly recommend her.

Lisa did a stunning job with our wedding flowers. I can’t put into words how happy we were with everything she did. She was such a joy, yet so professional to work with and she created actual masterpieces for us. Thank you so much!

Went here with wife and kids. Had a brilliant time, all the staff are friendly and kind. The theme was Halloween. The houses were brilliantly decorated and care was given with having younger children being kind and friendly with he kiddies.

Visited the Halloween 🎃 night last night, it was amazing! The kids loved it. Been here lots of times but definitely the best one yet! A lot of effort has been put in and it shows. The characters were superb! Definitely coming back!

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. Had a great time for the teachers' day made the most out of every part and kids round rides countless times. But don't think we will return now till they have kids.

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.

First time visiting for the Halloween event. Brilliant day out despite the rain 🌧. Lots of activities going on, staff were approachable and friendly. Trail was very interactive, and our son enjoyed it. We will visit again.

Very nice standard railway not very long at the moment but has plans to expaned also has a steam tram 5 inch railway model layouts and a great cafe All the staff were very friendly and informative Open on sundays and bank holidays ?

I had a fabulous day at Telford Steam Railway, I went by myself and I was so happy I was able to book a ticket for just me for the cream tea train ride, as some other similar steam train experiences discriminate against single people and only allow a minimum of 2, when many solo people also want to and love experiencing these days out. When I arrived the lady that worked in the gift shop was so helpful and kind to me, she help me with my ticket, directions, showing me things in the shop and also offering to take a photo of me when I returned, the steam train itself is beautiful! The atmosphere is delightful, the mini engine ride and the miniature train villages was amazing! When I got on the train, they layered it out so nicely with table cloth, tea cup and saucer, sugar, jam, clotted cream and menu, I had the whole table to myself with window seat, the staff on the train were friendly and helpful, each person got one fruit scone and one plain scone that were large and good quality along with the jam and cream, they gave me a box for my leftovers to take home. The trip itself was enjoyable sipping tea, eating scones whilst enjoying the sounds of the train and looking out the window. This trip was good value for money on a beautiful old steam train journey, thank you! 🚂😸

An absolutely magical experience from start to finish! We attended the Polar Express night at Telford Steam Railway as a group of 6 adults and 2 teenagers, and it was so much more than just a train ride—it was a full theatrical experience that brought out the festive spirit in all of us. The evening began seamlessly at the park-and-ride in Ironbridge, where the well-organised bus service got us to the venue in just 8 minutes. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by cheerful staff in festive costumes, setting the tone for an enchanting night. The waiting area was buzzing with excitement, offering delicious hot food, refreshments, and an incredible model railway exhibition that captivated everyone. A few carols and dances later, we were guided to the platform for the main event, and that’s when the real magic began. The train journey itself was unforgettable. The conductor and staff were full of energy, creating a lively, joyful atmosphere for everyone on board. From singing and dancing to meeting Santa himself at the North Pole, every moment was special. When we returned, we had the chance to take photos with the cast and the beautiful train, as well as browse the gift shop for keepsakes to remember the night. The return bus ride to the park-and-ride was just as smooth, wrapping up a perfectly organised evening. The joy on the children’s faces (and ours!) was priceless. This is a must-do experience for families and anyone who loves the magic of Christmas. Five stars all the way!

Great place for adults and children alike. Fantastic trains, volunteers and model railway.

Our visit to the Telford Steam Railway was for a Guards Experience, a Christmas present from my daughter's family. My daughter was able to join me for my special day and my wife and grandson joined us later for our first journey. We were met by the duty guard, Ben, and introduced to the Pacer, our train for the day, and on one of its only running schedules this season. We walked through the safety procedures, both inside and out, ensuring the train was safe to use. Following us was our driver, who carried out more thorough checks. With all checks carried out and a few passengers on board, we were off. We departed in one direction, then the driver swapped ends, and we set off in the other direction, to another station, which is the end of the current line. We then did the journey in reverse. As the 'guard', I was given the task of clipping the passengers tickets and having a chat with them, as well as operating the doors and carrying out the safety checks before we departed each station. I was given the opportunity of a footplate ride in reverse, which was great. Our lunch was provided at the cafe on site and was fantastic. We rejoined the train for the return journey, where I received my certificate, a year's membership, and a booklet on the history of the railway. We went to view the incredible model railway layouts, which have to be seen before going for a family walk around the lake. We returned, and my daughter had another treat in store for my grandson and myself, the chance to drive a narrow gauge diesel. This year, the Phoenix Railway were offering guests the opportunity to 'drive for a fiver'. Both my grandson and I enjoyed the opportunity of driving the locomotive twice around a large track and blowing the horn when signs appeared to warn people of our presence. Until this year, I had never heard of this railway or Horsehay, but I do now. The railway may be small in travelling distance, but they have some very ambitious plans, which will build over the coming years and bring great delight to everyone. I would like to say a massive "Thank You" to Ben, for his infectious enthusiasm for the railway, all the railway volunteers, the cafe staff, Phoenix Railway, for making our day incredibly special, and we look forward to travelling again with you as passengers. I have enjoyed reading the booklet and learning more about this amazing little line!! For a great family day out, this is definitely worth visiting, as it caters for all ages. Parking can be found beside the Goods Shed and along the old road, which is a cul de sac, as it was the turntable when the line was operational.

The Polar express. What can I say it was the BEST Christmas experience We have ever had. I would definitely recommend it. The ride smooth and no issues at all. We had a rider with allergies. Completely catered for the best way to describe it is a Theatre production on a train. It was magnificent! the conductor stevie, Chef Katie, and the Hobo was as truly amazing the Children phenomenal! Absolutely blown away from the experience everyone on our part of the train Rudolph were incredible!!!! from start to finish!

What a great experience... The Polar Express train ride was great. It was like an interactive theatre performance. The kids loved it! The staff/actors were amazing, the story really came to life. The hot chocolate and cookies were rubbish but who cares, bring your own! Well worth the money

Rudest old man in charge ! Came for kids party and facilities are fine but the whole vibe was ruined by the unfriendly and unnecessarily rude man who ran the place. Horrible to the kids and not much better with the adults

The instructors and manager are very helpful and I'm confident in sending my granddaughter on her school skiing trip with the skills they have taught her to stay safe. They deserve gold stars.

Great facility, have taken my son once a week over the school summer holidays. All off the coaches have been excellent, he his much more confident about going on ski holiday early next year. Thank you very much.

Live locally so we have used the ski centre a few times for tots donuts and kids tobogganing over the years, especially over the school holidays when it is as little as a £1 a session. Today, we booked the adrenaline tubing which we haven't done before, and it was a brilliant laugh. Had a 2 for 1 Sunday deal and also had the slope to our self. Staff were friendly and informative and the hour session was brilliant, will definitely go again.

Great place, value for money and is loads of fun and the staff are great would recommend to all

Rang up twice to ensure we could go skiing before we drove over as it’s a 1hr 45 minute drive there and back! The woman asked if we both had skiing experience, I said I did but my 30 year old partner didn’t but his been a skater his whole like so knows what to do, She ensured that was absolutely fine!!!!!!!!!! Arrived there 2 blokes basically laughed in our face and said no! I explained I had already spoken to someone about it and she assured me it’s okay! He then said all the information is on the website, although it does not actually say anywhere on the website that you can’t go on the slope without a lesson, and I rang up twice!!!!! Absolutely awful service!!!!! Will never return here!! Also the slop looks terrible it’s a blue run and super small!! Literally for little kids!!! So don’t get excited!!

Really helped me learn the basics of skiing, it's amazing seeing the transition between how confident I was at the start and at the end. One of the 2 hour sessions is just enough to go on a skiing holiday or just for a day out. And the price is definitely worth it

A hidden gem that you must try for food while in Ironbridge! See pics of the excellent cafe menu and afternoon tea too. The owners are really friendly and they deserve your business. I had a tuna baked potato, lots of salad and home made coleslaw with it. This place is a relaxing haven in amidst the busier tourist cafes, the music was laid back too, a nice escape from the streets outside.

The worst afternoon tea I've ever had. Just 1 sandwich cut into 4 slices with various fillings. Half a sausage roll and a very small piece of quiche. Scone was dry and so was the brownie. All the food shown in the photo cost £50!!!! There was filter coffee too. Absolutely disgusting. Staff were pleasant. Most definitely wouldn't recommend.

A year round Christmas fix. Lovely staff, everything you could ever need in terms of Christmas decorations and gifts, great food and sublime Christmas cake

Stopped for some lunch while on a visit to ironbridge gorge. Lovely little cafe that takes dogs. All food is homemade and freshly prepared. Not too expensive either. Will be back

Absolutely love the new shop that has recently opened! They have moved to a bigger shop and now they have a Christmas restaurant too!!! Some gorgeous stock, lots of unusual Christmas decorations as well as the usual baubles etc. If you live Christmas then you need to visit!

A great little shop and tea room. We were treated to afternoon tea on Christmas Eve. It was lovely, the food was smashing and the staff were great.

We popped into the Little Christmas shop 🎄 whilst on a visit to Ironbridge. It was surprising seeing this shop as its only September 🤣 . Upon entering there is a good selection of Christmas 🤶 items baubles ,cards and other Xmas related items. The items aren't cheap however they look like good quality. Its worth a browse if you're in Ironbridge. The staff are very nice too. Happy Christmas 🤶.

Great park we have been the last 3 years for the world war 2 weekend great event in a great place

Tucked just a short walk from the Iron Bridge, this park is a hidden gem for a peaceful family outing. It’s spacious, green, and beautifully laid out along the river. It's ideal for picnics, gentle strolls, or simply letting the kids burn off energy in a safe, open space. One of the highlights is the well-kept play area.

It’s a lovely place to gave a quiet walk on a Sunday with my lil old dog Izzy….. no huge hills, no rough terrain, easy for anyone young, old, wheelchair bound or walking with sticks…. Plenty of places to sit and have a picnic or a bench to sit and watch the world go by!

Great place to take the kids on a sunny day, great ww2 weekend and also other events around Ironbridge lots to do and very beautiful 😍

Lovely park by the river and close to facilities. Plenty of picnic benches, open space and play equipment.

Beautiful area - lots of places to sit and have a picnic. Open spaces for dogs and kids. Lovely tea room and shops to browse and two hours free parking!

Lovely to walk around, lovely to just sit and watch, well tended, such a wonderful place to be. Great play area for kids.

Decent selection of cask and keg small brewery ales. Conveniently in centre of Ironbridge, close to the bridge. It is quite small, but it is a micropub

Cracking micro pub with a great selection of beers! Only a strong imp stout missing! This would be my local if I lived here!

Fantastic place to try different ales. The locals are helpful with beer choices if you are not sure what to try. The beer flight is a brilliant way to try 3 different beers. They are also able to put a beer you like into a can whilst you wait, that's right, they can a beer while waiting. What a fantastic idea. We will definitely be going back to try some more beer. A highly recommended Micropub.

Some amazing beers available here. They also have a good range of spirits. I tried the IPA and the chairman’s reserve spiced rum and they were both amazing. Staff very friendly and helpful

Cozy friendly little micro pub. A great selection of specialist beers

A great pub, wide selection of beers & ales. The barman couldn't offer food but they did do a complementary cheese board. Definitely worth another visit.

Great micro pub with expansive range of cask beer. Boardgames to play. Friendly atmosphere. Views of the Ironbridge from back window. Would recommend!

For the less able out there like myself you could park on quiet off peak days along Church Hill or the Hodge Bower as long as you don't impede the residents parking and only spend about 45 mins or so at the Rotundra View point .The walk from there is not that steep and avoids the steps .

Quite a lot of steep steps which were not well-maintained for a disappointing view :-( either go in the winter when the leaves have gone or be six foot tall.

A beautiful spot to admire the Ironbridge Gorge

Fabulous group of half day walks with some fair climbs and stunning views. We have grabbed an afternoon to see Ironbridge together with one of the planned walks, the Iron trail. The walk took us the 2 hours that we had paid for parking, and was a great way to spend an October afternoon. Beautiful weather, stunning views and some very pleasant people we chatted with en route.

There are steps leading up here (173 I think) after a walk up a track that is steep in places. The top has some good views of the gorge but the Ironbridge is barely visible now due to there being many trees in the way. We went before there were any leaves on the trees and the bridge was still only just viewable. The rotunder was a sort of roof on pillars but nothing remains of it now, not even the base platform.

A huge trek up the steps with a wicked view. From the top you can then take a great walk through the woods with some I formation points on route. Great for runners or walkers.

Very steep climb up from Ironbridge. Views were good but can imagine in years gone by when the trees weren't so tall they would have been even better.

I dont know if this organisation built the steps in the woods from ironbridge to broseley, if they did I would like to say they are too high when u step up, must have been built for someone with very long legs. I'm not the only one who thinks this, people I passed agreed too. Walking at the side of them seems common. They are useless for the older age group. So can't do that walk as they have spoilt with those high step s.

It is a joke of an organisation, purely in place to stop anyone enjoying the local wooded area. Run by old moaning locals for old moaning locals.. I have lived in this area all my life and cyclists are made to feel like criminals it is ridiculous! Having been told were an insurance liability cycling in the woods As we may hit pedestrians, it's made me wonder is this the case for road cyclists due to the fact that there is actually pedestrians for them to hit?!? Seems to me it's all about looking out for themselves not the community. Also one star is to kind of a rating( God Dam rammblers)

We are non-profit community interest company that wants to implement a youth project in the forest that is governed by Severn Gorge Countryside Trust. We contacted for a permission to use their forests for activities, and we were completely ignored, just told we are understuffed. Given that you are non profit organisation and you are to promote your forests and be serving community needs, i can not understand this attitude. How come there is no possiblity to do activities in the forest? It is really questionable, what is your role as organisation, that is really dissapointing, because this approach leads to many effects. Hope your right to manage the forest will be cancelled.

Very peaceful and interesting place

attended a wreath making evening. fantastic!

Fantastic training day with Richard in the woods on Coppice Management. I was gutted I couldn't make the second day. Very relaxed but also very informative. Lunch was more than one could have expected too. I came away feeling refreshed and happy with what I had learnt. Well worth the money. Thanks guys!

Bodgers meeting here, saw the catkins against the sky, beautiful

Fabulous little place, interesting wood crafts and a cafe that provides tasty food and free parking

Beautiful place to lose yourself and recharge your batteries.

Lovely place to visit nice walks and plenty of bird song

Staff very friendly, health & safety followed, enjoyable activities.

Great place and people

Fantastic walk, but challenging, with some of the many steps up from Ironbridge up to Benthall Edge and finally to Benthall Hall, a National Trust property .Very, muddy in places during the winter months .Go early enough, you will see deer,hare's ,and the birdlife is amazing with nesting buzzards The walk can take you eventually to Broseley or finally connecting to Much Wenlock along the Shropshire Way .

Amazing panoramic views great walk along the river would recommend it for anyone

Nice quiet woodland walks and a great viewpoint back over the valley

Not much to see but the walk up the steps is a fun thing to do.

Wow - what an amazing experience! The Professor brought Ironbridge alive and I learnt so much from our tour. Any questions we asked were answered with in-depth insights and anecdotes, recent and past. The Severn is a great river and it is hard to believe the levels it reaches when in flood. I would strongly recommend this tour to anyone who is visiting and wants to really understand this breathtaking piece of England's history. Thanks Professor Ross.

Fantastic tour led by a great character. We love Ironbridge and have visited several times but the Professor’s tour taught us so much, it has made us appreciate the town even more. Definitely recommend this for anyone visiting.

A well delivered tour with many interesting facts at hand. I enjoyed being taken off piste by the Professor to see other aspects of the area, which I wouldn't if on my own. Good value for 2 hours of information

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.

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.

What a lovely place to visit. Friendly staff, great exhibits with voices from the past. A workshop producing unique gift options and an outstandind surprise, for us, a personal tour of the surrounding area including the, unknown to us, tar tunnel. The guide had somehow amassed an incredible amount of information and was both educational and entertaining.

We didn’t go in but was nice to walk around the area to look and read about the history. But do not park in the car park if you are planning to use the free half hour because like others have said, we were charged the hour even though we were back well within the half hour to leave. The receipt couldn’t print out as the machine had run out of paper.

Lovely little museum. Nice selection of Coalport porcelain and wonderful to be able to walk around the original workshops and kilns. My 5 year old loved the tea cup which triggered short audio clips throughout and gave adults the chance to look at the porcelain. Nice school room for role play and the workshop for the kids to make their own sculptures was great. Thanks for a lovely visit.

I love the Ironbridge museums, coalport China is famous all over the world the museum is wonderful and has some beautiful examples of coalport pottery dating back hundreds of years . The shop is lovely the staff are excellent ,helpful and interesting. A wonderful place to visit , great cafe as well .they also run classes to teach you how to make things and decorate them plus you can also buy seconds really cheaply and decorate them yourself .great place to visit .so interesting .

Fabulous place to visit. It's very interesting to find out about the history of the pottery. Great place for children.

Really interesting and knowledgeable staff. Amazing to watch flowers being made. It wasn't busy when we visited so one to one attention

We visited during half term and took part in a workshop, making mini clay masks for the Day of the Dead. The ladies running the workshop were super friendly and helpful. We had a great time, enjoyed cuddles with Betty the dog and even got some cake (I don't think this is a regular offer!). A great way to spend an hour or so as part of our visit to Ironbridge.

Tucked away behind barriers and blue covers, this incredible piece of economic and social history. Jaw-dropping awesome.

A very interesting place, there is lots to learn here. Perfect for a rainy day.

Ironbridge is stunning location and the Museum just adds to the appeal. If you haven’t been pay a visit .. we were just returning from an October wedding and had a couple of hours spare. Short visit but very sweet.

Feel like a criminal, photos on entry. money grabbing all the time as well as expensive entrance fees so unlikely to return. I've just returned from Australia where most museums and heritage venue were free entrance and public transport was cheap sometimes free so no parking charges either

Confusing about which site is which and what they do. I don't know if Google will attach this to the right pin! Visited the museum about iron, interesting, also Ingenuity nearby which is science for children. You need to get someone to explain all the ticket options and discounts (eg English heritage) . NB parking is extra at the various sites £1/hour.

Quite impress about this place .

Great for family or a nice walk around ok n your own very friendly and helpful staff

Stunning ex Anglican church in the heart of shrewsbury. Now looked after by the churches conservation trust, it has so much to see no matter what you are into. The architecture and stained glass windows are wonderful, the windows were mainly brought in from Europe and are exquisite. If you see one church in shrewsbury see this one.

What a surprising church, so many windows "borrowed" from other churches! It has a really nice feel to the building, seemed busy and popular when we were there on a Saturday afternoon. Worth popping into for an hour or so whilst in the town.

St Mary’s Church in Shrewsbury is absolutely stunning — one of those places that quietly takes your breath away the moment you step inside. It’s not just a church; it’s a living time capsule of English history. The building has been standing here since Saxon times (the first church was probably built around the 10th century), and the current structure, mostly 12th–15th century, still feels full of life and character. The spire is incredible — one of the tallest in England — and you can see it from all over town. Inside, the atmosphere is calm and full of light. The carved wooden roof is richly detailed with angels, animals, and medieval patterns, and the famous Jesse Window is worth the visit alone. It’s a masterpiece of 14th-century stained glass, showing the family tree of Christ in brilliant medieval color. You can almost trace the centuries as you move through the building — Norman stonework, Gothic arches, Victorian restorations — all layered together beautifully. Now under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust, St Mary’s isn’t used for regular worship anymore, but it’s open to visitors, often hosting exhibitions and events. It’s well cared for, peaceful, and free to enter (though donations are appreciated). I really love architecture and history, and this place is a must-see in Shrewsbury. It’s not just another old church — it’s a thousand years of faith, art, and craftsmanship, all under one soaring roof.

A beautiful medieval Gothic church with Norman features. Very nice architecture with wood carvings of angels, animals and a green man, plus amazing glass stained windows. The staff were warm and welcoming and the place was well maintained. A peaceful place and well worth a visit

If you are in Shrewsbury, do pop in. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Beautiful stained glass windows. Very special and peaceful. Dates back to medieval times, steeped in history.

Another stunning church in the incredible town. Don't miss the plaque as you enter telling the story of the guy who tried to zip line down to the abbey from St marys. The stain glass windows are something to behold. There are also some great bits of history dotted around the church making this a must do if you are in town.

Attended a Jamie Lawson concert set up by In the House, brilliant atmosphere and not cold!

Very informative your guide (Paul), but disappointing to get only a couple of minutes in the tar tunnel, well look over the carrier and that was it tbh. Also the information signs are behind locked doors and you don’t really have time to read them properly with everyone about. Better suited outside maybe.

The Tar Tunnel together with the other Ironbridge museums are very interesting and our guide Paul knows the Ironbridge history and area inside out. Highly recommended to those who are interested to know how the valley was developed and the innovations back in the 1700.

I think it would have been an awesome place to visit, but unfortunately they only do guided tours between 29 July and 11 September, so you have to plan your journey for that time. I would love to go and see it when it is open again and think the kids would really love it. When you get close to the entrance, you can already smell the tar.

Morning time we had private tour in Tar Tunnel. Caitlyn was our tour guide, she is so lovely and explained the history of the tunnel very well. She is so friendly.

Moderately interesting, but unfortunately you aren't allowed into the tunnel itself (for safety reasons). Very enthusiastic tour guide with rather idiosyncratic delivery.

Fantastic tour ! Paul was such a brilliant & informative guide. Explained the full background & history of the whole area, which made sense of the significance of the tunnel on it's surroundings. It's only open a few days a year but well worth booking ahead if you are planning to visit the area 👍

Currently the majority of the tunnel is closed but you can go to the entrance of it and look down free of charge, there is a mine car and a few rocks. Kids can wear a hard hat, but it's not required. The gift shop sells Ironbridge merchandise.

Beautiful walk through the woods, along the brook and to the waterfall. Most of the path is well maintained with boardwalks, steps, gravelled paths and handrails etc. Gorgeous plants and wild flowers. Recommend wearing boots for support and as it's muddy in places but we only had trainers which where fine. I parked on the hill along the wall.

Great for walk and paddle in steam, no one could find mysterious waterfall

Great path for a good walk, it is quite long depending on which route you take, wasn’t really sure where I was going but was trying to get to lyde waterfall like someone else I have seen on here! 😂 I didn’t get there as I had no idea which way to go there aren’t many signposts so you can find yourself on various paths great to just walk and get lost without going to the extreme though! Some very nice scenery along the way!

I took the dogs along the Dingle because the new one hadn't been there yet. It looks good at this time of year, with the garlic coming up and everything mossy and verdant. The path is on the fringes of "accessible" but some sections could challenge those with restricted mobility. Recent work has cleared views and given a more open feel to the area around the wee bridge and has improved/moved the path in sections. It's looking lovely at the moment (late march 2023) softened by new growth but still quite airy. The algorithm demands images and I didn't take any this time but I've got a few from last year. Dog and child friendly in a "playing in the stream and woods" mode. Nearest public loos in coalbrookdale (I think 🤔 Not a guarantee) a bit damp for picnics but in summer it's probably lovely.

A lovely place to have a nice walk, quite hilly and lots of steps up and down, so be careful.

I originally came here to reach lyde waterfall, unless you know where you are going I would not advise trying to access it this way (unless I just completely went the wrong way 😂) the woods are very overgrown with lots of felled trees to climb over and get under and some steep muddy banks, that being said I really enjoyed my adventure through the woods

Beautiful walk in Coalbrookdale. Can get quite muddy but it really is a lovely place.
