Plans have been drawn up for a new family-friendly outdoor adventure experience at Blists Hill Victorian Town in Shropshire, England, an attraction run by Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust.
The area, dubbed the Madeley Wood Company Outdoor Adventure, will feature elevated walks above the woodland floor, a log-style basket swing, a seesaw, a lookout tower and a coal chute slide. The plans have been approved by Telford and Wrekin Council.
Built among trees and inspired by the area’s mining past, this attraction will also feature wheelchair-accessible multi-level themed buildings, immersive play areas and a toddler zone with a faux minecart track, play buildings, a slide and miniature zip-line.
The Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust chief executive, Nick Ralls, said: “We’re so excited to be bringing this landmark project to life, it’s a huge milestone development for us. We know this lockdown has been extremely difficult and that families are currently chomping at the bit to get out and about and have adventures, so now seems like the perfect time to give them a little teaser of what we’ll have waiting for them this summer.”
