Tour Overview
Immerse yourself in a bygone era during our two-day break to Ironbridge and Blists Hill Victorian Town, where character-filled streets and spectacular local scenery combine. This delightful living museum brings to life all the sights, smells, fashion and charm of the Victorian era, creating an interactive representation that’s accurate to the last detail, from the shop fronts to the working blacksmiths! We also take in the famous monument of Ironbridge (the very first iron bridge in the world), erected over the River Severn in the late 18th century and spend some free time in the storied city of Birmingham.
Itinerary
Day 1 : Ironbridge
At the heart of the deep Ironbridge Gorge, with its exposed iron, limestone and fireclay lies the village of Ironbridge in Telford, Shropshire.
Called the ‘Valley of Invention’, Ironbridge is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is home to many award-winning museums, which stretch along six miles of the River Thames including the Museum of the Gorge, located close to the Ironbridge itself.
The impressive cast iron bridge was built in 1779, and the Ironbridge Gorge is widely regarded as the birthplace of the industrial Revolution. A few years ago, English Heritage undertook a £3.6 million conservation project on the iron bridge, and it continues to be a very popular tourist destination, attracting many visitors every day.
Day 2 : Blists Hill Victorian Town
A charming time travel experience is just around the cobbled-corner when you visit the award-winning Blists Hill Victorian Town. A fun family day out, with every step you’ll take a glimpse into the past and discover what it was like to live and work a traditional Victorian life.
Wander the streets and see what you find, from the town bank to the fairground, and the train ride into the mine. – Everything is authentic, from household ornaments to the piano in the pub. See craftspeople demonstrate their trades, meet the ‘Victorian’ townsfolk, take a ride in an open horse and cart, visit a Victorian shop and eat classic dishes like fish and chips and cream tea…
What an enjoyable and unique way to bring history to life!
Day 3 : Birmingham
Britain’s second largest city, Birmingham, ticks all the boxes for a short family break or action-packed weekend with friends.
The city is a vibrant place, brimming with popular tourist attractions as well as a bustling shopping and restaurant scene.
