The Ironbridge is located in Telford in the village of Ironbridge. It is well signposted from the M54 and the A5 near Telford in the heart of the Midlands.
Parking is available on both sides of the gorge, but in the summer you’ll be better using the large car park on the other side of the river from Tontine Hill shops (a roundabout just outside the centre of the village gives good signage to the latter).
TOAL is possible both sides of the gorge using the Ironbridge for access, but the side with the shops is better for VLOS.
Plenty of places to visit in the area with museums, cafes, pubs and restraunts all within walking distance. At the time of this entry there were no bylaws or FRZ prohibiting flying, but be careful of crowds!
The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 09/02/2023. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.
Thank You for sharing and the additional info, Really lost myself in your composition. The section towards the Ironbridge with the reflection in the river below was a great shot as the arch is seen as a complete circle as it is reflected in the water. Lovely. Nigel G
@Zero-9 I’ve added the locations that you requested Steve. TOAL is pretty much anywhere down the path that runs the length of the river. Parking is the issue. If you’re lucky you can park on the road. There is a carpark right next to the bridge on both sides of the river but I’ll put where I parked and TOAL.
I’ve been a few times but as ever its best to go when it’s quiet. You’ll have no bother either way TBH.
Hi, Like @PingSpike, Rich, says, its nowhere near a FRZ and there are no byelaws to concern you either. Going fwd just use Drone Scene with all its filters selected to check for any restrictions or issues.
I have contacted RAF Shawbury and Cosford in the past (and even had dinner in the their Officers’ Mess) and they are more than willing to assist you in flying safely within, or close to thier FRZs. But on this occasion your free as a bird to fly, have a great time!
Yes, its good to fly! There are no warning yellow restrictions either! Just keep away from crowds, it can get busy in the Spring and Summer. Your spoilt for choice for TOAL. Anywhere along either bank of the river is good.
