Best Hotels in Telford
Telford is a new town spread across a wide area, so the right base depends on whether you want convenience, scenery or the feel of an older market town.
Town centre and Southwater
Southwater is Telford's leisure quarter beside the Town Park, and together with the town centre it holds much of the evening life, with shops, restaurants and Telford Central station close by. It suits business trips and short visits. Dual carriageways divide the districts, so expect to ride rather than stroll.

The Ironbridge Gorge
The Ironbridge Gorge is a World Heritage Site on the River Severn, with steep wooded slopes and old industrial buildings around the famous iron bridge. It rewards a weekend or a slow night. The lanes are narrow and hilly, and the nearest station is a drive away.

Wellington as a market town base
Wellington lies on the north western side of Telford, near the Wrekin hill, and has its own railway station on the Shrewsbury line. Choose it for older streets and simple rail access without the scale of the main town centre.

Trains and roads
Telford Central is the main station, on the line between Wolverhampton and Shrewsbury, with Oakengates and Wellington stopping on the same route. Check your last train before you commit to a stay without a car. By road the M54 links the town with the West Midlands, and the Severn can flood the lowest lanes of the gorge after heavy rain.

Trust before you travel
Telford draws people from a wide area, so it matters that the checks are done by hand. Someone on the team matches each member's identity to a government issued document, and a person views every picture before it goes live.

Frequently asked questions
No. The site has no booking function and does not suggest particular hotels. Whether you pick somewhere near Telford Central, in Wellington or in the gorge, you deal with the hotel directly.
It helps. Telford is spread out and the districts are separated by major roads, though the railway links the town centre, Oakengates and Wellington. Ironbridge has no station.
