About us
The Half Moon sits in the riverside village of Jackfield, at the heart of the historic Ironbridge Gorge — birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. Just a short walk from the iconic Iron Bridge, it’s the perfect base for exploring the beautiful Shropshire landscape and its rich heritage.
The charming towns of Much Wenlock and Bridgnorth are close by, with Shrewsbury — birthplace of Charles Darwin — also within easy reach. Telford town centre is just a 10-minute drive away.
Step back in time at the Ironbridge Gorge Museums and discover the area’s vibrant past, or enjoy the many other attractions and stunning countryside that make this region so special.
For the latest museum events and updates, visit the Ironbridge Gorge Museums website.
The Museum of Iron, Museum of the Gorge, and the original 1779 Iron Bridge all remain open over the festive period — walk its famous arch and imagine the dawn of the industrial age unfolding around you.
