YHA Ironbridge Coalport

The hostel is a fifteen minute off-road walk to the award winning Blists Hill Victorian town where history comes to life through the sights, smells and tastes of a real working town. Plus Victorian characters are there including the candle maker, baker, grocer and policeman to help give a true insight into life one hundred years ago. Three miles away at Coalbrookdale students can find out more about three generations of Quakers called Abraham Darby who perfected the art of mass production of iron and guilt the world famous bridge. Nestled in the heart of the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site, YHA Ironbridge Coalport is housed in the grade II listed original factory building of the Coalport China works. The building blends original features including a decorative tiled entrance hall with all the modern facilities you’d expect from a 21st century Youth Hostel. With 83 beds spread across 21 rooms, a large classroom, a second smaller study room, a lounge and spacious dining room, this hostel really does lend itself to group use. School groups staying at the hostel will find there are endless options to choose from with ten museums within the Ironbridge Gorge. These enable schools to link their visits to the National Curriculum through a local history study. There’s plenty of fresh air to be had and most of the museums are accessible by paths along old railway lines. Then there’s the world famous Iron Bridge the perfect spot for admiring or sketching the view or just an epic game of pooh sticks!

This site is more open to the general public. We requested it to be sole purpose due to safe guarding risks within communal spaces.

YHA Coalport is looking a bit tired. the lounge area has ripped sofas, some of the bathrooms and showers were out of order and the food service was a bit slow. However it was comfortable enough to spend 2 nights.

Good food and good service after a slow first evening. The rooms were just the right size for the pupils and facilities perfectly satisfactory. It is well-located for the Ironbridge Gorge museums all within a short coach ride away, you can also walk to Blists Hill from here, some of our group took advantage of that!
