Exploring by foot and by bicycle

During the day
A misty dawn view from the Ironbridge
Shropshire has an excellent entertainment guide called 31days. Activities for children also feature. We recommend you try it to plan for some events before your visit (hint - in the DAY menu select ALL DAYS). You can search for a range of events by subject, such as jazz, children's, music and theatre for any specific day.
Ironbridge Gorge Museums: a true highlight for visitors of all ages. The town of Ironbridge is a genuine UNESCO World Heritage site conservation area, and these museums illustrate its story as the birthplace of industry.		Distance (miles/Km)
