We tried to visit a sheep dog exhibition on our way out of Wales. It was, unfortunately, closed down and had become an ATV mountain adventure...no puppies! Instead, we visited Llangollen and took a nice walk along a canal to see waterfalls and eat lunch, then drove on to Ironbridge Gorge. The Gorge is an amazing place. It is where, around the time of the Revolutionary War, the English perfected the means to make cast iron. They built a massive bridge out of iron, spanning a river at the bottom of a very steep canyon. There are ten museums in the area, all focusing on the cast iron, industrial revolution or other Victorian times (including a complete Victorian village like Williamsburg). Lovely working class village well preserved for the tourists and people living there. On to Ludlow where we are staying in for dinner tonight at our lovely manor house B&B
