Blists Hill Victorian Town, Ironbridge
Ever felt like life moves a bit too fast? Leave your smartphone behind, dust off your top hat, and join us for a delightful journey back to 1900 at Shropshire’s Blists Hill Victorian Town!
Nestled in the historic Ironbridge Gorge, this open-air museum brings the sights, sounds, and smells of the Victorian era to life. Swap your cash at the Bank for pre-decimal pounds, shillings, and pence, then wander the high street. Pop into the traditional sweet shop for a quarter of boiled sweets, chat with the blacksmith, or step inside the printer’s to see presses in action.
No visit is complete without a stop at the famous Fried Fish Dealer for traditional chips cooked in beef dripping – followed by a cheeky pint or sing-along in the New Inn pub! It’s a wonderful, nostalgia-packed day out with flat walking routes, plenty of places to sit with a cup of tea, and great company. Best of all, we handle the driving, leaving you free to enjoy the Victorian charm.
Your day includes…
- Living Victorian High Street: Explore authentic shops, cottages, and workshops filled with costumed townsfolk.
- Victorian Currency Exchange: Swap modern money for shillings and pence to spend in the town’s shops.
- Famous Heritage Eats: Taste legendary fish and chips cooked the traditional way, plus freshly baked goods and retro sweets.
- Stress-Free Coach Travel: Relax on a comfortable executive coach directly to Ironbridge and home again.
