Drake Cottage is at the end of a quiet, no-through road and adjacent to the River Severn. Maws Craft Centre is a 2 minute walk away with shops, gallery and cafe. At the end of the road is the Boat Inn which has regular live music nights. It is a rural area, steeped in history in a world heritage site. Car is the easiest, due to the remote location, however, walking and cycling are also a very popular pastime within the Gorge. The Severn Valley way is just behind the cottage and runs from Ironbridge to Bridgnorth. Cross over the footbridge and you can turn right to Coalport or left along the Silkin way past Victorian Town (Blist’s Hill) and through Telford Town Centre and beyond.
