"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

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!

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.

Lovely, peaceful riverside trail along the Shrewsbury to Worcester stretch of the Severn Way.

Interesting collection of art, craft and artisan food producers - good for a wander around. Refreshments at the Tile Press Cafe open daily 10-4 but closed on Mondays.

A nature reserve cared for by Shropshire Wildlife Trust, The Ercall is home to much more than first meets the eye. Ripples visible in the surface of rocks in this fascinating old quarry were carved by ancient seas 500 million years ago when this part of Britain lay 60 degrees south of the equator. Visit in late spring and early summer to hear birdsong echoing from the walls and run on trails edged with bluebells, birdsfoot trefoil and wild orchids. A staggering 821 different invertebrate species were once found here during a single survey.

Rising to 407 metres, The Wrekin is a prominent landmark, its visibility from the M54 signalling the entrance to Shropshire. Unlike some of the local hills, The Wrekin was never a volcano in its own right, despite its conical shape, but is composed of various igneous rocks and volcanic processes. The ridgeline either side of The Wrekin makes for some great running, with fabulous views in every direction.

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.

Absoluty for those who like natural trails

Run to this pool and get muddy shoes 😂

The very first iron bridge, still impressive today.
