Best places: Tourist attractions in Dawley, United Kingdom

👍👍 If you are using Google Maps to get to The Wrekin, it will take/lead you to a farmer's private land. So please put into Google Maps - 'Car Park for The Wrekin'. The car park is free to use but it maybe full and possibly hard to get a space. You can also use the spaces on the one-way road leading up...

Green space for all ages with play areas, nature and heritage trails and an aerial rope course.

Pleasure rides on heritage steam & diesel locomotives, plus a model railway & train-driving courses.

Family-focused zoo/farm park with animals from meerkats to farmyard favourites, plus regular events.

👍 Well tended park and recreational area. Caters for football, tennis, table tennis, lawn bowls & more. Beautiful flowerbeds to sit & relax by. From the on site cafe we had a lovely fresh sausage, bacon & fried egg sandwich in crusty bread while we sat in the sun (rare sight in Telford). It was a good...

Complex with museums on early industrial life, recreated towns, science exhibits, and old factories.

😐 Be aware if you are visiting between October and March that the driveway up to the Abbey is locked, so the only way to get on us to park on the road and use pedestrian gate, which is fine, except there is not really anywhere to park safely, only on the verge of the road, so be careful. The Abbey its...

Suburban villa & mini-estate, former home to 3 generations of a brewer's family.

👍👍 Absolutely beautiful panoramic views from the plinth of the monument, you can see for miles and miles. Very tight road leading up to the monument, a very small dead end turning/car park at end, not much room and take your walking shoes, steep ish climb to top and can be muddy, ok for most people I...

Ruins of a 12th-century Cistercian abbey, including a church & ornately carved chapter house.

Science museum with interactive exhibits aimed at kids, including an area for young children.

👍👍 Acres of wonderful open space to enjoy a walk and see nature at work.

😐 Firstly my son absolutely loved it. Cracking idea, he thoroughly enjoyed it and is asking to go again already... However.. The amount of sweat dripping all over the play area was rediculous. Something I hadn't thought about before entering it. The floor was literally wet and the bounce zones slippy...

👍 A good water park if a tad on the small side in comparison to Walsall Arboretum. The facilities are limited in terms of changing though the visitor centre is just opposite and can be used for a bit of privacy. The seated area opposite is also good as it provides a bit of much needed shade in 30 degr...

👍👍 Nice place to walk, with it without a dog. Nice trails through the woods and old mining buildings to see. Beware in the road coming off the island though, do not go 40-50mph as there are invisible speed bumps with no markings!! I could barely see them in broad daylight and my eyesight is perfect!

👍👍 Absolutely brilliant gardens, well worth a visit even if the weather is poor. Very neat and tidy, a real credit to all who maintain it! 👍 It's areas like this that make Telford great. You could have a bite to eat nearby after your walk around the garden.

Fairytale characters enchant kids year round with diamond mines and a hedge maze, plus crazy golf.

👍👍 A much quieter, wooded walk than The Wrekin. There are a lot of criss-crossing paths to take through the lovely old woodland. Recommended for a short walk, with some nice views from the top in good weather.

👍👍 Lovely quiet area to walk your dog on lead. Views towards the Wrekin.

👍👍 Very very nice place to visit, loads of interesting facts and it is right across the road from Enginuity, so you can visit both at the same time. It even has a scale model of the actual Iron Bridge that is very detailed, some fossils and all kids of information and facts about the start of the indus...
