Short holiday in Ironbridge in April 2013

We had 3 days in an hotel in Ironbridge,Shropshire. We also visited Much Wenlock, a small town in Shropshire which actually hosted a precursor to what we know as the modern Summer Olympic Games back in the 1800s. The Wenlock Games, as they were known back then, helped inspire Baron Pierre de Coubertain to conceptualize the modern Olympic Games in 1896. Wenlock was the name of the British mascot at the 2012 Olympic Games. We also visited Bridgnorth and Ludlow, a lovely town with a very good market.
