This River Cruise and Afternoon Tea with Hotel Stay for Two could be the perfect gift for a birthday, anniversary or a ājust becauseā treat, combining sightseeing, afternoon tea and a relaxing overnight stay.
Your Shropshire getaway includes a one-night stay for two at the Best Western Valley Hotel in historic Ironbridge, with breakfast the following morning. Set on the banks of the River Severn, this welcoming country house hotel makes a peaceful base for your short break, with the centre of Ironbridge within easy walking distance.
As part of your experience, you'll also head to Shrewsbury for a 45-minute river cruise along the River Severn. Board a modern, three-deck passenger boat with retractable sides and a roof, then sit back and enjoy views of some of the town's best-known sights, including the Welsh Bridge, Theatre Severn, Shrewsbury Castle and St Chad's Church. Along the way, a qualified local guide will share commentary, fun facts and local history, bringing the surroundings to life.
After your river cruise, take a short walk to a nearby restaurant where a traditional afternoon tea awaits. Tuck into a selection of sandwiches and cakes accompanied by freshly brewed tea, a lovely way to round off your time in Shrewsbury.
Your break also gives you the chance to discover Ironbridge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its pioneering Iron Bridge and its important role in the Industrial Revolution. Wander along the riverside, explore the town's independent shops and cafƩs or make time for some of the fascinating attractions around Ironbridge Gorge.
With a scenic cruise, afternoon tea, an overnight hotel stay and breakfast all included, this is a thoughtful gift for two people who'd love to spend quality time together while discovering two of Shropshire's most characterful historic destinations.
