Welcome to Apley Forge

Apley Forge is a historic site located in the heart of Shropshire, England. The forge was established in the early 18th century and was used for the production of iron goods such as horseshoes, nails, and tools.

Today, Apley Forge is a popular tourist attraction and a testament to the ingenuity and hard work of the people of Shropshire.

The forge also has a museum that showcases the history of the site and the people who worked there. The museum is a great place to learn about the industrial revolution and the impact it had on the local community.
