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.

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.

Great little bridge, single file for cars with small footpaths either side.

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

Completed in 1818, Coalport Bridge is a historic single-arch cast iron bridge that spans the River Severn in the Ironbridge Gorge in Shropshire. The bridge embodies the rich industrial heritage of the region and, in contrast to the more famous Iron Bridge located two miles upstream, it still carries vehicular traffic. Traffic crosses the bridge one way at a time and is subject to a height limit of 6 ft 6 in. Coalport Bridge is arguably more impressive to view than the Iron Bridge because of its lean and streamlined design. The bridge is best-viewed from either upstream of downstream as crossing the bridge will not display all of its merits.

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.
