Exploring Ironbridge with the YHA | Ad Press Trip
This summer we were invited to work with YHA - Youth Hostel Associating to help share the love when it comes to family travel on a budget.
We spent a weekend exploring Ironbridge in Shropshire from our wonderful base - the YHA Ironbridge Coalport.
We walked the Silkin Way and along the Coalport Canal. We visited Blists Hill Victorian Town, The Old Foundry, Enginuity and crossed over the world-famous Ironbridge.
We also visited Wroxeter Roman City and the RAF Museum in Cosford - both around a 20min drive from Ironbridge.
The perfect base to explore this historically rich town.
