Welcome to Presthope

Presthope is a small village located in the county of Shropshire, England. It is situated in the heart of the Ironbridge Gorge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its rich industrial history. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is a popular destination for tourists who come to explore the area's many attractions.

One of the main attractions in Presthope is the Ironbridge Gorge Museum, which tells the story of the Industrial Revolution and the impact it had on the local area. The museum is home to a number of historic buildings, including the world-famous Iron Bridge, which was the first bridge to be made entirely of iron. Visitors can also explore the nearby Blists Hill Victorian Town, which is a living museum that recreates life in a 19th-century industrial town.

Presthope is also a great place for outdoor enthusiasts, with plenty of opportunities for hiking, cycling, and fishing. The village is located near the Severn Way, a long-distance footpath that follows the River Severn from its source in Wales to its mouth in the Bristol Channel. There are also several fishing lakes in the area, including the popular Severn Valley Trout Fishery. Overall, Presthope is a charming village that offers something for everyone, whether you're interested in history, nature, or outdoor activities.
