Trench Road Stone Lion Sculptures

Highlight • Structure

On Route 55
Note the Route is on the old Trench Road slightly to the right and parallel to the new road - it is well worth using this road when touring since it is a closed to cars in sections, plus you get to see the gate monsters/ lions which are an impressive sight.
The entry from Newport to the section is via a joint footpath and cycle path opposite the Red House Pub - its not very well signposted - what looks like a gap in the hedge is correct way you can see the cycle route sign as you go through it.

St Michael and All Angels Church

Highlight • Historical Site

In the search for a worthy patron saint for this church, the Archangel Michael was initially chosen, whose name (derived from Hebrew) means "Who is like God?". However, it was then apparently decided that it wouldn't hurt to significantly increase the number of intercessors before God's throne for this church and its parishioners. Thus, the idea arose not to choose just a single patron saint, but to extend the patronage to the entire heavenly host (i.e., "All Angels").

Audlem Village

Highlight • Historical Site

Audlem is a sizeable picturesque canal side village with a long history that goes back to the doomsday book. Audlem is famous for its run of 15 locks designed by Thomas Telford to raise the canal up from the Cheshire plain. The walk along the locks is regarded as one of the finest walks in lowland England.

Coalport Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Spanning the Severn between Coalport and Preens Eddy, today's Coalport Bridge is an impressive, decorative cast iron structure. But back in the 1700s it was a double-arched wooden bridge, known imaginatively as Wood Bridge to differentiate it from the nearby iron bridge, known as Iron Bridge. Unfortunately, less than five years after its construction, Wood Bridge was washed away by floods. Over the following years it was replaced with various iron/wood structures, none of which lasted for long, until eventually a sturdier all-iron bridge was built in 1818. This stood for 187 years until requiring strengthening work in the early 2000s.

Bridgnorth Bridge

Highlight • Historical Site

Bridgnorth is beautifully perched atop a sandstone cliff with spectacular views of the Severn Valley. Being divided by the river gives off the impression of it being two towns really, a high town and a low town. It's a pretty place and has an interesting history going back to the English civil war and some more. Well worth a visit.
