  7. Spanning the #RiverSevern amidst the lush #ShropshireCountryside, the Iron Bridge in Ironbridge is an iconic #HistoricBridge and part of the celebrated #IronbridgeGorge. Recognised as a #WorldHeritageSite, it is famed for being the world’s first major bridge constructed from cast iron, symbolising the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. Visitors can stroll across the bridge and enjoy sweeping views of the wooded gorge and the picturesque village below. The area is a popular destination for history enthusiasts and walkers exploring the scenic trails along the riverbanks.

  12. We went to Fountains Abbey today. @ric might have enjoyed the walk, but I was mostly looking at the remnants of historic lime finishes. Here are the photos I took with us in, the rest are mostly lime.

  17. After the last week of dull grey skies and rain, the clouds disappeared and the blue skies and sunshine returned. Quick trip out to stock up on cat litter and provisions. Feeling a lot better after a week of coughing and sneezing. Stopped on the way back to visit the Chirk Aqueduct and Viaduct. The viaduct is higher than the Aqueduct and was built later.
