Telford is the only place on earth that can claim to be the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution — and one of the greenest towns in England. Cast-iron heritage, 450 acres of parkland, and a high street's worth of independent makers, all thirty minutes from Birmingham.
Heritage, parkland, family days out, shopping, food, or what's on this month — every route through Telford starts in one of these six places.
The UNESCO World Heritage Site where the Industrial Revolution began — ten museums, one iron bridge.
450 acres of Town Park, a 14-mile traffic-free trail, and the hill the whole county navigates by.
Hoo Zoo's dinosaurs, ice skating in Southwater, a steam railway, and two cinemas to shelter in.
A 780-year-old market charter, a 160-shop centre, and the makers in between.
Riverside beer gardens, a micropub, and fire-cooked brunches five minutes from the bridge.
The Balloon Fiesta, Comic Con Midlands, and a calendar that never really slows down.
