Things to Do in Telford
Telford is a new town on top of the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, and its best days out are in the gorge and on the hills. Here is where to go.
Ironbridge Gorge for the world's first iron bridge
The Ironbridge Gorge is a World Heritage Site, with the first iron bridge in the world, a steep wooded valley and a string of riverside villages. It is the best known place in Shropshire for a day out.

The Wrekin for a hill with a view
The Wrekin is a prominent hill on the edge of Telford, with a path to the summit and views across Shropshire and Wales. It is a proper climb, so it suits people who like to walk.

Wellington for a market town afternoon
Wellington, an older market town now part of Telford, has a traditional high street and a more local feel than the new centre. It suits a quiet coffee and a walk.

Getting around Telford
Telford was planned around roads, so a car or taxi is the simplest way to reach most of these places. Buses link the centre with Ironbridge, but less often in the evening, and the hill and the gorge are steeper than they look.
