Bit of an overcast start to the day, although it wasn't cold. On the way out we had a ride up to the Farm Shop to pay the camping fees. £84 for 4 nights. Ted gave us a couple of pork chops to try. We also went for a look at the new piglets.
Had a ride into Telford Shopping Centre for a while before moving on to Ironbridge. Ironbridge is a settlement on the River Severn, at the heart of the Ironbridge Gorge, in Shropshire, England. It lies in the civil parish of The Gorge, in the borough of Telford and Wrekin. Ironbridge developed beside, and takes its name from, the famous Iron Bridge, a 30-metre (100 ft.) cast iron bridge that was built across the river in 1779. It was the first arch bridge in the world to be made of cast iron, and was greatly celebrated after construction owing to its use of the new material.
By now the sun had come out and we had a nice ice cream near the bridge. Did a bit of shopping. Mad bought a couple of thimbles before a quick ride just down the road to the remains of the Bedlam Furnaces. The coke-fired blast furnaces were built in the 1750s alongside the River Severn, and we're still in use into the nineteenth century.
On the way back we called in at the Brewers Fayre for tea, before heading back to the caravan.
