Experience the wonders of the Limekilns in the historic Wrekin Forest with Walk 18 Limekilns and New Works, spanning 11 miles. Starting from Coalbrookdale, the route takes you through the Old Wynd to Horsehay, continuing across Horsehay Golf Course towards New Works and Limekiln Woods. Immerse yourself in the area's rich industrial past as you observe the old limekilns from various vantage points before retracing your steps via a different woodland path. Passing through Lawley and Vane’s Coppice, this walk offers a mix of open vistas and ancient woodland, with a terrain that varies from fields to hills. Expect some muddy spots and stiles along the way, but no steps. While not suitable for dogs, children aged 12-18 can participate when accompanied by a responsible adult. Remember to come prepared with appropriate footwear, water, snacks, and clothing for changing weather conditions. Plan your journey carefully as parking can be challenging in the gorge, with limited public transport options available. Consider completing multiple walks during the festival to earn prestigious medals, including the coveted Cartman Challenge medal for covering over 150 miles.

Iron bridge was the first iron bridge located on river Severn. Due to the limited metallurgical technology at the time, the whole bridge was made of gray cast iron. There was no steelmaking technology at the time, and the gray cast iron was brittle, so now the bridge is only for viewing. At present, vehicles on the bridge are prohibited, and pedestrians can pass. It is worth a visit. [Cost-effective] high [View] beautiful [Cost-effective] high
