Residing within the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site, YHA Ironbridge Coalport occupies the oldest surviving Coalport china works building. Perfect for activity breaks, offering cycling and walking routes which take you around the local area.

For a more cultured break, take a short trip to the museum, which is located right next door, where you can see examples of the china which made Coalport famous.

Why not take a walk along the Shropshire Canal to the 200 year old Tar Tunnel, visit the famous Ironbridge which spans the Ironbridge Gorge or marvel at the wonders in the science museum, Enginuity!
