Curry in the Bilash and a few pints in the George and Dragon.

Or as said Hopton or the long Mynd.

There is also the Wrekin 10 mins away. Mountain boarding at the Edge?

Visit the phone boxes and cottage where clockwise was filmed.

Not a lot of things to do there otherwise, except the down hill mtb coures just outside the town,

Easy xc/lanes ride to the Long Mynd, make it hard by going over the Lawley and along the north side of Caer Caradoc 🙂

Ironbridge is also just down the road unless it's still under water!

There's a museum, a bridge of historical note and a sports centre with a pool (attached to the secondary school).

The priory is nice for 30 mins and there is a great butcher on the main street.

Eastridge has to be worth a visit too.

Take your bike to Ironbridge, ride Brosley Woods near the Old Power Station and up along towards MW, then hit the top of Old Brosley then back down through the woods towards the river and along the old Railway line following the trail to the old Railway Station just past Jackfield, head over the river and back along to Blists Hill through the woods and head back into Ironbridge, head down toward Coalbrookdale and turn right at the Church on the hill and back into "my" woods and up along the trails into the old quarry. Once you get there head left towards Lawley Bank and through the old Brickworks and head along the trails until Dawley. Once there head west towards the old clay quarries at the top of the Irobridge Gorge and then back through the woods to the river, head home towards the old Power Station again..

I Love That Place!!

Ludlow Food Hall is well worth visiting.

Much Wenlock is famous for its morris dances recorded by Cecil Sharp before 1914.
