Over the border to Wales
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.

National Trust - Chirk Castle
What you always imagine a castle should look like!
A good place to enjoy a canal-side walk with a difference: crossing two aqueducts and going through two tunnels (bring a torch!).

Just upstream from Llangollen, this wier was built to supply the Llangollen canal with water from the river Dee. It can easily be combined with a visit to the nearby Chain Bridge and the church at Llantysilio.

One of the most well-preserved early Iron Age hill forts in Britain, managed by English Heritage. Mainly earthworks, a nice place to stretch one's legs.
