Overview

Today we'll be having a short walk along the historical tracks and trails of Benthall Edge.  There are lovely views across the gorge and you'll see traces of the fascinating industrial heritage of the area. There's a steep climb out of the gorge at the beginning of the walk. Join us to work up an appetite for Christmas lunch at the Valley Hotel in Ironbridge. You could just join us for the lunch if the walk is not for you, or just for the walk if the meal is not for you. 

We'll start from the Valley Hotel in Ironbridge at 10am and for those that are only coming for lunch you should aim to be at the hotel for 12.30pm.
