The biggest display of decorative metalwork in the UK. Featuring live work from the some of the best artists and blacksmiths in the country.

Wow! What a hidden gem in the countryside. Beautiful backdrop to the outside sculptures which you can hire a buggy and go around if you don't fancy walking. The inside sculptures are placed all over, dont forget to look up too! Great Christmas area for gifts and the tea room entices you with the smells of fresh coffee and warm scones when you walk in. Fantastic place to visit, I will be back for more... plenty of parking, very friendly and informative team of staff with a selection of outside garden pots and ornaments for sale so you can take something home too.

Just visited for the second time and I love it! Such an amazing collection of ceramic tiles and the story and history behind the factory and tiles in general. I spent ages just walking around the showroom room and then the room at the end with so many tiles on display to see. Just beautiful. Made me want to go home and tile something! There were many designs I would love to use in my own home. With my Ironbridge annual ticket, I will try to visit one more time just to look again before my year is up.

You cannot imagine how much there is to look at in here. We easily lost ourselves and before we knew it 90 minutes had passed. You can tell the curators have put a lifetime of effort into collecting these items. Well worth a visit and a wander round! We were dubious thinking it can’t be very big, but it’s over 4 floors. If you like to reminisce then you will love this!

Visit Park Hall Countryside Experience, the amazing National award winning farm park with lots of animal fun, action and adventure for the kids. There are regular hands-on animal activities, and each day there is a spectacular pig racing event, even try your hand at milking a cow! At Park Hall the kids can play till they’re worn out, try out the two massive indoor play barns with a new ‘Demon Drop Slide’ and bouncy castles. Discover the great outdoors where there are adventure courses, woodland walks and a picturesque lake. Kids can even ‘learn to drive’ in electric cars or landrovers. If you love science checkout the Science Illusion Zone. There’s a Victorian School, Iron Age Roundhouse and Welsh Guards Museum too. A great day out for all the family.

We had a great day out here. Plenty of outdoor activities (and lovely weather) meant we could stay outdoors all day without needing to try the indoor activities. We loved the dinosaur egg hunt, the driving school, playareas, go karts and the barrel ride. We all enjoyed the maize maze and the pig racing. Easy to social distance from other adults as there is plenty of space and it wasn't over crowded. I saw staff cleaning the toilets and the barrel ride was sanitised after each turn. Our first proper attraction style outing since Covid and we felt safe and had a great time. We would definitely recommend.

Marvel at the massive locomotives, delve into the intriguing history of Britain's railways, enjoy themed exhibitions of unique railway vehicles and meet Gordon, the blue engine! Tucked away in Highley, discover The Engine House Visitor Centre, part of the Severn Valley Railway. With a fantastic cafe stocked with freshly made sandwiches, local produce and homemade cakes, plus a beautiful outdoor space including park, there's so much to discover at The Engine House

Visited the tea room as we were staying close by, Rosalie is a friendly welcoming lady and bakes all her produce, which is lovely we sampled many of her products and enjoyed all. Beautiful setting for cake and a possible visit to Daniel's Mill.
