This scenic area, often used by moviemakers because of its unspoiled, authentic 18th-century architecture, offers several museums that represent a different aspect of Britain's industrial heritage.

Good insight to the foundations of our Industrial Age and daily life for people of the time. Victorian village was well done with the actors role playing very well staff and volunteers very friendly and helpful in spite of current times and extra pressures. Glad we came to discover this part of the history and the gorge and bridge too.

Enjoyed a good day at Blists hill on our coach holiday despite rather wet weather.Lots of interesting buildings to explore and the staff in the shops etc are very informative to talk to and delicious cake in the tea room too.Particularly enjoyed talking to the people in the plasters shed and buying lovely handmade small items from there.Definiteley would like to return hopefully on a drier day.

Ironbridge is the town that just keeps giving. A visit to the Coalport China museum is a must when visiting. The exhibit where you can walk inside a bottle kiln that shows how the china is packed in saggars to be fired was very interesting. The volunteer who demonstrated how saggars were produced was very informative, showing how the clay items were placed in the saggars and why they were different shapes. Then walking around and seeing the china displays and wonder how such fine and intricate items were produced. There were other exhibits that we did not have time for so will be returning.

Spent a good couple of hours in Enginuity trying out all the experiments and equipment, absolutely fascinating and suitable for all ages. A great place to go if it's raining as there is something for everyone. Enginuity is adjacent to the Museum of Iron which is another wonderfully laid out museum, very informative. If you purchase the Annual Passport to gain access to all 10 Museums throughout Ironbridge you will save a lot of cash and it entitles you to unlimited visits for a year. We had a week in Ironbridge to have a proper look round all the museums. One of the best relaxing holidays in a long time and would highly recommend it.
