Severn Way and Mercian Way Through Ironbridge Gorge

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Fantastic for cyclists and hikers, this stretch of trail is both peaceful and beautiful. The Severn Way and the Mercian Way long-distance trails both use this path to make the most of the gloriously wooded valley between Bridgnorth and Ironbridge. Keep an eye out for remnants of history from the china works to ancient footbridges.

Coalport Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Spanning the Severn between Coalport and Preens Eddy, today's Coalport Bridge is an impressive, decorative cast iron structure. But back in the 1700s it was a double-arched wooden bridge, known imaginatively as Wood Bridge to differentiate it from the nearby iron bridge, known as Iron Bridge. Unfortunately, less than five years after its construction, Wood Bridge was washed away by floods. Over the following years it was replaced with various iron/wood structures, none of which lasted for long, until eventually a sturdier all-iron bridge was built in 1818. This stood for 187 years until requiring strengthening work in the early 2000s.

Bridgnorth Bridge

Highlight • Historical Site

Bridgnorth is beautifully perched atop a sandstone cliff with spectacular views of the Severn Valley. Being divided by the river gives off the impression of it being two towns really, a high town and a low town. It's a pretty place and has an interesting history going back to the English civil war and some more. Well worth a visit.

August 17, 2023,The Half Moon at Jackfield to Bridgenorth (and return)

Lovely, easy ride by the River Severn. Includes getting a bit confused (some may say lost) near the start and spending time trying to get a runaway border terrier back.
