This is a great place to break your journey for a bite to eat and to watch the trains go by.
On Sunday: At the Museum of the Gorge, see what the Gorge was like in 1796 with the help of a giant 12-metre model. Spot a royal carriage crossing the Iron Bridge and see the cargo being carried on a Severn Trow as well as figure toiling in a coalmine. And a short film will tell you all about the area’s history and why the Gorge was made a World Heritage site. A visit to the new shops on Canal Street at Blists Hill is a must. Check out the latest fashions in the general draper and outfitters, have your portrait taken at the photographer’s, send your letters and postcards at the post office, select from a massive range of Victorian treats in the sweet shop and enjoy a delicious portion of traditionally made fish and chips in the fried-fish dealers (extra cost for purchases and lunch). Visitors can ride the short distance through the woods on the narrow-gauge railway to the Clay Mine, where they’ll learn more about the vital importance of the mining industries in the Ironbridge Gorge. A fun AV show in the mine features a father-and-son team talking about their experiences as clay miners. The Mine Experience lasts about 20 minutes and has an additional fee payable locally.
Jackfield Tile Museum galleries have some lovely examples of individual tiles and period-room settings depict various locations that would have been decorated with tiles. You can walk through an Edwardian tube station, a hotel bar, a children’s hospital ward and a 1930s front room. Huge panels depicting medieval stories and nursery-rhyme scenes have been rescued from buildings and now grace the walls of the galleries. 12

It’s owned by Boundless and offers preferential rates to members.

Things to do Rich in history, York dates back to the first century when it was founded by the Romans as Eboracum. The Romans had upped sticks by the early fifth century, and the city was invaded in the ninth century by the Vikings, and several times by the plague over the ensuing centuries. The railway arrived in 1839 and the modern-day National Railway Museum is a treasure trove of rolling stock and memorabilia. The city walls encircle the whole of York and make a great vantage point for a sightseeing walk. The city is also rich in chocolate, with Terrys and Rowntrees being famous York chocolate families – if you have a sweet tooth, then the Chocolate Story museum is the place for you. And yes, tasting is allowed... 18

21 – 23 JUNE
History of the Docks Bristol’s famous docks date from the 13th century, when they were the hub of the city’s prosperity. Now completely redeveloped, why not take a seat next to actor Cary Grant in Millennium Square (he was born in Bristol as Archibald Leach, and it’s his statue you can sit next to) or take the kids to the Science Centre with its wealth of interactive exhibits. The dockside Arnolfini Gallery always has something interesting going on – and outside sits another statue. This one is of John Cabot, who sailed from here to Newfoundland in 1497 and you can see a replica of his ship, the Matthew, moored across the docks. 22
