National Trust - Benthall Hall
Tourist attraction
😐 Disclaimer: I am a National Trust member and usually absolutely love these types of visit. I was a bit disappointed today. The hall has a later opening time than most other places and not, I believe, anything to do with covid. Between 1 and 3 it is guided tours only (these were booked up when we arr...

The Wrekin
Hiking area
👍👍 If you are using Google Maps to get to The Wrekin, it will take/lead you to a farmer's private land. So please put into Google Maps - 'Car Park for The Wrekin'. The car park is free to use but it maybe full and possibly hard to get a space. You can also use the spaces on the one-way road leading up...

From the on site cafe we had a lovely fresh sausage, bacon & fried egg sandwich in crusty bread while we sat in the sun (rare sight in Telford). It was a good...

Acton Burnell Castle
Castle
👍👍 Visited on my 2020 Shropshire holiday. English Heritage site, free to enter, which is fair seeing that the castle is only ruins nowadays. A bit of a hidden place, with a small area to park in the front of a neighboring church and graveyard, and we have to walk through a tiny woodland to reach the c...

Bedlam Furnaces
Historical place
😐 Just outside Ironbridge along the river I think that these old furnaces are interesting provided you do your homework first we only parked there so the visit was no more than 10 minutes.
There is information on site but it is a quick read, the cover above the furnaces looks a little ugly and looks m...
