Two nights dinner bed & breakfast
A country house hotel in the heart of Ironbridge, with a riverside setting and lovely views of the surrounding parkland. Facilities include Chez Maw restaurant; bar; WiFi. The hotel has a lift to some rooms, and porterage is included.
MONDAY On our outward journey we visit the National Memorial Arboretum, the UK’s living and lasting memorial to commemorate and celebrate those who sacrificed so much for our country. We continue to the hotel for our two night stay.
TUESDAY We start the day in Ironbridge. Known throughout the world as the symbol of the Industrial Revolution, and part of the Ironbridge Gorge UNESCO World Heritage Site, explore this picturesque village, with plenty of pretty cottages, townhouses and little shops. A short walk from the centre will take you to the Iron Bridge itself, a famous industrial monument. We then continue to Shrewsbury, one of the finest Tudor towns in England. This delightful town with its half-timbered buildings, little independent shops and tea rooms is a pleasure to explore. Later in the afternoon we enjoy a 45 minute cruise on the beautiful River Severn aboard the Sabrina passenger boat, with tea/coffee and biscuits included, before returning to our hotel.
WEDNESDAY After breakfast we make our way to the Black Country Living Museum. With 26 acres of living history there’s plenty to see and do. We depart mid-afternoon for the journey home.
