Ironbridge Gorge Museums
Description
10 museums dotted along the Gorge in a 6 mile area through Colebrookdale, Ironbridge, Jackfield, Borsley, Madeley and Coalport.
Charge
You can pay for each museum individually, or you can buy a passport that gives you unlimited access to the museums for a year, as well as free travel on the Gorge connect bus.
Getting There
The museums are quite spread out and from Blists Hill to The Derby houses it's a good five miles. On weekends during the summer the Gorge connect bus links the sites together every half hour. Outside of these times the Ironbridge, Toll House, and Museum of the Gorge are all located within walking distance in Ironbridge. 77 or 88 buses run up the hill from Ironbridge to Colebrookdale for the museums there. Jackfield is about a miles walk on the opposite side of the river from Ironbridge. Coalport can be reached by the infrequent 77 bus. Blists hill is a short walk from Madeley (77, 96, 99)
