Overview

Enjoy a beautiful circular walk from the early Industrial town of Broseley, famous for pipe making.  We pass through wooded areas with steep steps down to the town of Ironbridge where we will cross the River Severn over the historic cast iron bridge.  There are toilets located here. Moving onwards we will climb the steps to the Rotunda with its panoramic views of the Ironbridge Gorge.  Lunch will be at the YHA Coalbrookdale where drinks and snack can be purchased if desired.  Toilets are also available.  After lunch we take woodland paths before crossing the Severn at Coalport.  There is a good traffic free track uphill back to Broseley. Bring packed lunch if required. Walk leader Caroline L.
