    I've got happy memories of Ironbridge. Did a 116-mile loop round there from Oswestry early this year. 40 miles back from Ironbridge to Oswestry with a monster tailwind :twisted: :D

    Didn't hang round long enough to try the local pubs though so I can't answer your question!

    You've got the Swan at the end of the warfage which is excellent, the malthouse and the Tontine further up. Just out of Ironbridge towards Jackfield you have the Bird in hand and the "Ye olde Robin Hood".

    oh yeah, theres a fancy coffee shop with lots of chrome furniture at the top of the warfage if that is your bag ;) Sure they'll do a cake or two as well lol !

    Two minutes into Jackfield you will find the Bicycle Hub should you need anything fixing ;)

    I grew up and work in Broseley which is a mile up the road. Its said that Broseley did all the hard work during the industrial revolution and Ironbridge took all the credit !...
