Sightseeing

There are several routes you can take travelling West from Ironbridge. Either head directly west via Shrewsbury to Welshpool, Llanfair and/or Lake Vyrnwy, or head north-west along the A5 towards Oswestry, Chirk and Llangollen. Both make wonderful days out.
Narrow gauge railway. Another one for the kids!
