A 25 minute walk from the lodge, past the golf course and stream. Pools, hills and woods to explore and then a children's play area, cafe and high ropes adventure. A great walk and somewhere else to take a picnic.

Lots of fun travelling the shortest and perhaps steepest funicular railway in the world. Also some great icecream shops, pubs and restaurants in Bridgnorth, spectacular views, a castle and a picturesque river. Well worth a day out.

The birthplace of the iron bridge and the first one built here in 1759 across the River Severn. Stunning location and beautiful short drive from Bridgnorth: a photographer's dream. Great local hostelries and cafes too.

Much improved zoo with friendly new residents (lemurs) and a wide range of exotic animals: something for everyone. At the top of the hill sits the castle where you can sit and picnic or watch a show. The ride on train will take you all the way to the top if you're feeling weary! Two cafes and a large gift shop. Great views across Dudley and the Black Country.

A fascinating glimpse into the past way of life for local people: a better alternative to local housing back in the nineteenth century. Fantastic walks and views there too.
