The Green Wood Centre is based in Coalbrookdale, just a short way from historic Ironbridge, and provides an innovative headquarters for Small Woods set in the woods of the Ironbridge Gorge.
We promote sustainable living through a wood-based economy by running courses and events in sustainable woodland management, coppicing, crafts and related activities. Our activities at the Centre include woodland volunteering projects, fun family sessions and woody events for the whole community.
The inspiring Woodland Hall is available for hire - with its sweet chestnut pillars, peaceful environment and an energy efficient design, this is the perfect venue for a wide range of events. The site is also home to Embers Cafe, a retail outlet for coppice products and Cruck Barn Gift Shop, the woodland craft area, woodland camp and year-round access to woodland walks around the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site.
Our nearest station is Telford Central. There is also a frequent bus service from Telford to the Ironbridge Visitors Centre, just a five-minute walk from the centre. Click here for details of how to get to us by bus.
