Welcome to the Welsh Borders where Shropshire meets Wales. A wonderful area to visit and explore, stretching from the Dee Estuary in the North to the Severn Estuary in the South, there are many picturesque villages and historic towns and attractions on both sides of the Border. Admire the iconic Iron Bridge spanning the River Severn, and visit Blist Hill Victorian Town, one of the Ironbridge Gorge Museum’s 10 sites. Cross the Border into Wales and explore Llangollen, take a cruise along the Llangollen Wharf Canal, and enjoy a trip back in time through the Dee Valley on the Llangollen Railway. Spend the day in the medieval market town of Shrewsbury and join us for a cruise on the River Severn.
