The ruins of Ludlow castle is on a promontory overlooking the River Teme. It was one of the first stone castles to be built in England and dates back to the 11th century.

Halfpenny Green Airport makes for a nice bike stop. Once you follow the blue line to the cafe, avoiding those fast things coming in to land as you cross the runway, you can have a nice half hour or so watching the planes land and take off whilst enjoying a coffee and bun!

Only if they love a good hill climb. Not for the faint hearted.

Spanning the River Teme at the entrance to Ludlow is the beautiful Dinham Bridge. This super nice arched stone bridge is not as old as it looks, being built in 1823, it is not that old in UK terms, and it was constructed by no other than Thomas Telford. It is a stunning bridge with a gorgeous river vista and views of Ludlow Castle.

"In order to be able to transport his goods, the ironworks owner Abraham Darby III was looking for an architect who could build him a stable bridge made of "stone, brick or wood" across the five-kilometer-wide valley of the Severn in central England. Thomas Pritchard accepted the challenge, but he built a bridge made of cast iron, the completion of which in 1781 marked the beginning of the new "Iron Age". It was the largest free-floating bridge construction of the time. Built at the highest point of the valley, the Iron Bridge became a symbol of the industrial power of the Darbys and a monument to the Industrial Revolution." With these words, the website for the television series "Treasures of the World - Heritage of Humanity" presents its film contribution (in German) about the UNESCO-recognized World Heritage Site "Iron Bridge": https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/schaetze-der-welt/ironbridge-grossbrittanien-folge-156/3sat/Y3JpZDovL3N3ci5kZS83MTUyMDA4

Can't believe this castle is still standing, it is amazing and well worth the near £10 for a visit and to get inside.

Has anyone got tips on affordable but good car rack for a bike? 🙂 would love to do this tour around Ironbridge.

Bridgnorth is beautifully perched atop a sandstone cliff with spectacular views of the Severn Valley. Being divided by the river gives off the impression of it being two towns really, a high town and a low town. It's a pretty place and has an interesting history going back to the English civil war and some more. Well worth a visit.

Much Wenlock is a stunningly beautiful medieval town. Walking about town is like going back in time with its great selection of traditional shops and all offering good old-fashioned one to one service. It is a quintessentially English town, a bit off the beaten track but well worth the visit.

Beautiful weir situated below the stunning castle

Nice scenery, with great views of the river

Beautiful scenery with tricky climbs and fast decents

coffee is a must have in this location

Labelled, rightly or wrongly, as the "Birthplace of the Industrial Revolution" Ironbridge and its ‘Iron bridge’ is a stunning little county town with a cute high Street, lovely shops, pubs and cafes, a sprinkling of good museums and of course the bridge itself. The latter being the first fabricated from cast iron. It’s a grand beautiful architectural statement from bygone days and well worth a visit!

Bridge can get very busy so worth pushing the bike at times. Excellent views when water is up.

The iron bridge that spans the River Severn near to the Shropshire village of Coalbrookdale was the first of its kind anywhere in the world when it was constructed in 1779. This pioneering use of cast iron was afterwards adopted widely in the construction of bridges, aqueducts and other structures. The bridge's fame became so great that it gave its name to the spectacular wooded gorge which surrounds it, now the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site. In 2017-18 English Heritage undertook a £3.6m conservation project on the Iron Bridge to protect the future of this historic example of British ironwork.

Cast iron bridge that crosses the river Severn in the small town of Ironbridge. As the first of its kind it inspired the widespread use of iron as a bridge construction material.
