Cineworld

The Telford Cineworld sits in the heart of Shropshire's retail quarter, a solid multiplex that does exactly what it says on the tin - shows films on proper big screens with decent sound. It's the sort of place you'd take the kids on a rainy afternoon, or grab a couple of hours away from campsite life when the weather turns.

You'll find all the usual suspects here: blockbusters, family films, the occasional indie release if you're lucky. The screens are modern enough, the seats recline if you spring for the premium tickets, and the popcorn is the price you'd expect it to be. Fair warning though - it's a chain cinema, so don't come expecting anything quirky or independent. This is mainstream entertainment, full stop.

For families staying at Irongorge Camping or Ted's Farm just down the road, it's a convenient escape hatch. The drive from any of the nearby parks - Worfe Camping included - takes less than ten minutes, so it works well as an evening activity without eating into your whole day. Check their website for ticket prices and what's actually on, as releases change weekly. Weekday matinees tend to be less rammed than weekend showings, which is worth knowing if you're travelling with younger children who find crowds overwhelming.

Not a destination in itself, but a proper useful amenity when you're holed up in the area.
