If you happen to get really lovely weather there is nowhere nicer to spend a day. We had a picnic and watched the baby ducks. There is a very good pub and lovely scenery by the path.

After spending the afternoon at Blists Hill Victorian Village it wouldn't have been right not to visit the Ironbridge spanning the River Severn. It's only a short (5 minute) drive from the Victorian Village and its peaceful setting provokes thoughts of what history and construction has gone into the bridge.

Ironbridge with the River Severn running through is idyllic and peaceful. The river is not always clear and calm because the river runs from Wales so when Wales has alot of rain it affects the other areas downstream Ironbridge being one!!! It s still pleasant to watch tho.

The area around the river is a good walking area. Relaxing and worth a visit. The river bank in Shrewsbury is a good place to sit a have a decent cup of coffee.

When I visited in August last year the river was very calm and quiet. Today was something else, The Severn was positively shaking its fists at us and racing faster than I have seen for a long time. Well worth seeing it like this, makes you realise the power of nature.

what i loved at about the severn river is if u go on the iron bridge u can see abeautiful veiw from there there is a few old shops an houses u can go in an have a look round its a great day ok

Relaxing, absolutly wicked day. My husband proposed to me here by the river, we visit every year. The riverboat cruise is worth the couple of quid, its the best way to see the buildings. Don't like the water the walking and sightseeing is just as good.
