Ironbridge Gorge

The River Severn and its tree-cloaked banks make an attractive backdrop to this cluster of villages; within a mile of the graceful span of the world's first iron bridge are a cluster of fascinating museums exploring the area's industrial past and the reasons it has been described as the "cradle of the Industrial Revolution."
