A scenic view of Shropshire

The star attraction of East Shropshire is the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Ironbridge Gorge, an impressive symbol of the Industrial Revolution. You can walk across it, stand under it, and find out all about the history in a series of attractions that are together called the Ironbridge Gorge Museums. The market towns of Telford and Newport, as well as the famous Severn Valley Railway from Bridgnorth, are also popular attractions in East Shropshire.
