Ironbridge Gorge, Natural canyon and World Heritage Site in Shropshire, England.
The Ironbridge Gorge features a deep valley carved by the River Severn, flanked by steep wooded slopes and industrial heritage structures.
The construction of the Iron Bridge in 1779 marked this location as the birthplace of modern industrial techniques in metal production and engineering.
Ten museums across the gorge showcase the development of industrial processes, including tile making, china production, and iron manufacturing techniques.
The site provides parking facilities at multiple locations, with a shuttle service connecting the museums and main attractions throughout the gorge.
The geological formation contains exposed coal seams, limestone deposits, and iron ore that enabled the industrial development of the entire region.
