Welcome to Buildwas

Buildwas is a small village located in the county of Shropshire, England. The village is situated on the banks of the River Severn and is known for its historic landmarks and beautiful scenery. One of the most notable landmarks in Buildwas is the Buildwas Abbey, which was founded in the 12th century by the Cistercian monks. The abbey was built in the Romanesque style and is considered to be one of the finest examples of this style in England. Today, the abbey is in ruins, but it still attracts visitors from all over the world who come to admire its beauty and learn about its history.

Another landmark in Buildwas is the Iron Bridge, which was built in 1779 and is considered to be one of the most important engineering achievements of the Industrial Revolution. The bridge was designed by Thomas Farnolls Pritchard and was built by Abraham Darby III.

The bridge is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is a popular tourist attraction in the area.
