It's just a bridge... I mean its a bridge, and bridges aren't all that interesting- good for the duration of the walk over the bridge, very helpful for crossing the river

The bridge is just that, a bridge, but if you are 'into' bridges it is very interesting. It is worth finding out about it rather than just looking at it. Also there is a lot to do (and eat!) in the surrounding area.

We went on a river trip which was a total bore. There was nothing to see except river banks full of trees!! The bridge itself is iconic and worth seeing. The setting is lovely and on a sunny day it would be even better. We went to a small cafe for hot chocolate and cake and then had some chips... More

Good place to visit our heritage. Very relaxed day wish the weather was on our side but overall does remind me of the good old engineering this Country was famous for.

Ironbridge is an excellent location for a day out with a wide range of museums to visit, take a trip on the river, walk along the river or simply chill out in one of the cafes and bars
