Situation
Hodge Bower is delightfully situated in an elevated position at the top of The Gorge and comprises a pleasant mix of predominantly period properties of varying architectural design.
Ironbridge is a renowned and historic area nestling in The Severn Gorge which forms one of the most striking and distinctive landscapes in England, with a charming town centre adjoining the River Severn and the slopes of The Gorge combining a delightful mix of imposing, detached period residences mingling with charming cottages up the hillside. This remarkable area was at the heart of the Industrial Revolution and became world famous in 1779 when the world’s first iron bridge was constructed over the River Severn and from which the town derives its name.  It is steeped in the industrial heritage of the area with local museums forming part of the World Heritage Site and is now recognised as a premier tourist area.  Some five miles to the north is the excellent range of shopping and recreational facilities at Telford town centre, together with the railway station and M54.
