Sightseeing

Ironbridge is the birthplace of the industrial revolution and is steeped with history. No trip is complete without walking over the world famous Ironbridge, but this lovely area has so much more to offer. Within a short distance, you have several museums all of which are worth a visit. You can get an annual pass which does save money. Blists Hill is superb and you should allow 3-4 hours to enjoy walking around the Victorian Town.

Food scene

Only a couple of minutes walk up Wesley Road and you’ll find yourself at the Golden Ball. Real ales and good food. It does get busy and booking for lunch or dinner is recommended.

We love this pub! Formerly the old butchers, the original tiles are still there behind the bar! Always has a good selection of real ales and craft beers!

Your nearest local to our cottage! When leaving the cottage (on foot!), take a left and after approx 20 yards, there is a footpath on the opposite side of the road. Walk down this path for about 200 metres and voila, you will be in the beer garden!
