Tips
No trip to Shropshire is complete without paying a visit to Ironbridge Gorge, home to the world's first iron bridge and the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. Built in 1779, the bridge gave its name to the town that grew around it and to the wooded gorge. As you admire the iconic bridge in its stunning UNESCO World Heritage Site setting, just imagine the scene of revolution all those years ago.
