View of the Iron Bridge

Highlight • Monument

Great views of the best landmark in the area - the world's first Iron Bridge. Whether you just ride past and appreciate the view, or stop and think about the start of the industrial revolution, it's a pretty monumental landmark.

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.

Chelmarsh Reservoir

Highlight • Structure

Owned by South Staffs Water, the Chelmarsh Reservoir was built during the 60s and stores water from the Severn. It supplies towns across the local area but also acts as a watersports facility. With angling and sailing clubs here, the reservoir is a beautiful part of the local landscape and community.

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.

The Iron Bridge (Ironbridge Gorge)

Highlight • Monument

The Iron Bridge, crossing the River Severn in the village of the same name, represents so much more than just a bridge. When it opened in 1781, it was the first bridge to be made of iron in the world and has since become a symbol of the Industrial Revolution. The bridge is now a scheduled monument and makes up part of the UNESCO Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site.
