Coalport Ferry Disaster Walk

TELFORD WALK WEEK 2026

Coalport Ferry Disaster Walk

A circular walk to and from the Toll House Ironbridge, through some of the Broseley Jitties, past “The Red Church” and down “Corbetts Dingle” (could be muddy) to the Boat Inn. At the Boat Inn (Toilets and drinks available) I will offer a short presentation covering the “Coalport Ferry Disaster”. Return to the Toll House along the Severn Way. The walk includes several seldom used footpaths. Although the initial climb is quite steep, we are on pavement and we will be stopping several times to explore points of interest and the view is great!

 

Distance: 4 Miles

Elevation: 500 ft of climb

Duration: 3 to 4 hours
