· Shropshire's Museums are a Must-See if you think what Shropshire things to do!
Shropshire has something for everyone, whether you're a history buff, a naturalist, or a fan of the supernatural.
Shropshire things to do has a wide variety of museums to choose from, so here are a few of our favorites.
· Fortress of Steel: Iron Bridge
Construction of the Iron Bridge began in 1779 and was opened to the public in 1781.
The first significant cast iron bridge, and a cradle of the Industrial Revolution, was built in this region.
Thanks to English Heritage, the Bridge has received a $1 million refurbishment. The Iron Bridge was repainted red in the fall of 2018 after being covered up for many years.
The Iron Bridge is one of the 10 museums operated by the Ironbridge Gorge Trust and is always available to the public.
To learn about the history of the RAF and the tens of thousands of people who have served in it, you may visit the museum. The RAF has been around for more than a century, and you may view numerous examples of aircraft from that time.
The Vulcan aircraft is hanging from the ceiling in the Cold War display, which is a fascinating look back at a pivotal era of the 20th century.
The museum's admission is free, however, parking costs a little amount. Just off the M54 at Junction 3, the RAF museum at Cosford has a train station on-site.
· The Museum of Much Wenlock
A little Shropshire hamlet was never expected to be the birthplace of the modern Olympics.
Wenlock was one of the Olympic mascots from the 2012 Summer Games. The Wenlock games were started by Dr. William Penny Brookes, whose artifacts may be shown in the Much Wenlock Museum.
There's also a little walking route that you may make use of. In the beginning, it goes near the field where the first Wenlock games were held and the ancient train station where spectators to the games would have arrived.
A458 runs from Shrewsbury to Bridgnorth, with Much Wenlock situated halfway between the two.
· Dana Correctional Facility
What better way to spend a day than taking a tour of the Dana prison in Shrewsbury?
Thomas Telford built the jail in 1793 and it was completed in 1793. A guided or self-guided tour of the Victorian jail wings and down into the Georgian cells is available. You'll get a glimpse inside the daily lives of inmates and hear firsthand accounts of the prison's executions.
If you're looking for something a little more spooky, there are after-dark excursions and even ghost tours available.
Shrewsbury's jail is conveniently positioned near the town's train station in the heart of the city. On the website, you may schedule a tour for any day of the week.
