Welcome
Welcome to the very first edition of the Totally Telford magazine. Inside you will find an exclusive mix of interviews, reviews and features that highlight the absolute best of what Telford has to offer, including places to visit, events and activities for everyone. What many have discovered in the last year when exploring more locally, is that Telford is an extraordinary place to live, work and visit. It is the perfect blend of a bustling town centre and local market towns, an abundance of parks and green spaces for escaping and enjoying the great outdoors, on foot, bike or even on the water. Just a couple of minutes’ drive from the heart of Telford you will find 17 Local Nature Reserves, Telford Town Park, the UNESCO World Heritage Site, The Ironbridge Gorge, and The Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. We hope this edition will bring you some inspiration and fresh ideas, reveal some secrets and hidden gems for you to enjoy as well as the latest news on what some of Telford’s most popular places have been up to.
We are looking for interesting stories for our next editions, so if you have a story to tell, we would love to hear from you! Email us at totallytelford@telford.gov.uk
