About

Much Wenlock is a small market town centred around its medieval priory ruins and timber-framed buildings lining the high street. The town is closely associated with the Wenlock Olympian Games, a Victorian revival that inspired the modern Olympic movement. The surrounding landscape consists of rolling farmland and the wooded slopes of Wenlock Edge, a prominent limestone escarpment.

Broseley lies across the River Severn, historically known for its clay pipe industry and ironworking. The town retains a network of old industrial lanes and several historic kilns. A notable feature is the free, hand-operated ferry that crosses the river to the neighbouring village of Jackfield, providing a direct link to the Ironbridge Gorge museums.
