Telford
Telford is a New Town in Shropshire, 12 miles from Shrewsbury.
It was designated as a New Town in the 1960s, in a scheme to make use of the industrial wasteland left by the abandoned Shropshire coalfield, in the shadow of the Wrekin and stretching North from the Ironbridge Gorge on the River Severn.
There is a good indoor shopping centre, although the town has mostly been designed with the car in mind.
Blue Badge Guide Colin Crosby is available to lead Guided Walks around Telford for groups.
