Ironbridge Gorge


This region in Shropshire is all about England's Victorian industrial past.  The scenic gorge (dominated by the first iron bridge in England, dating to the 1700s) is lined with old Victorian mining and manufacturing facilities-turned-museums.  It's a popular vacation destination for English families, and you could easily spend three days here bouncing around the various sites with your Ironbridge Gorge passport (a ticket that gets you into everything).  Blists Hill, a full-blown living history Victorian town is especially fun for families.
