"The museums at Ironbridge Gorge in Shropshire tell the story of the birth of the Industrial Revolution. Hands on workshops were very well run and really brought the subject to life and made the children realise what it was like to be a child labourer in Victorian Britain".

With so much to offer, we have chosen to focus on wild animals during a safari trip, an ancient forest where we learn about ecosystems and climate, and how the Black Country forged ahead during the late nineteenth century.
