Much Wenlock

Sitting on the north tip of historic Wenlock Edge, Much Wenlock is a medieval market town that lies on the way to Bridgnorth from Ironbridge.

It's now gaining celebrity status too with the Olympic mascot "Wenlock", being named after it, as it’s the birthplace of the man who inspired Baron de Coubertain to re-launch the modern Olympic games that we know today.

Things to see and do in Much Wenlock:

Visit the unmissable ruins of Wenlock Priory (English Heritage)
Join in the fun with The Edge Adventure Activities
Visit the grave of Dr William Penny Brookes at Holy Trinity Church
View contemporary fine art and craft by British artists at Twenty Twenty Gallery
