Day 75 Wroxeter & Ironbridge

Many years ago LB & I enjoyed a weekend exploring Shrewsbury town. We didn't have time to visit the nearby Roman remains of the town of Wroxeter or Virconium & a subsequent visit was aborted when my father was taken I'll. Today we finally got there! It was a cold, very grey & misty day, with no light for interesting photos so really these are just a couple of holiday snaps. There was a large town here but only a few low level remains of the baths and market remain. The exercise hall or basilica was HUGE! here is some of it's remaining wall viewed from the far side of the baths.



After stopping off at the surprise find of a vinyard and buying the locally grown and made wine we moved on to Ironbridge for lunch and a view of the first bridge in the world built of iron by Telford in 1779.
