The Ironbridge Gorge Museums in Shropshire’s stunning Severn valley have beaten off stiff competition from the UK’s top visitor attractions to be crowned number six, in a brand new national family days out guide created from public nominations.

When research earlier this year showed that British families were not spending enough quality time together, the iconic roadside restaurant chain Little Chef decided to do something about it and launched its Bring Back Family Days Out campaign. Public nominations flooded in, with families sharing their personal favourites, including both high profile attractions and places off the beaten track.

The final top 51 – chosen to celebrate 51 years of Little Chef restaurants - was based on the number of nominations, the accessibility, cost and appeal to a family group

Paul Gossage, Director of Marketing and PR at the Ironbridge Gorge Museums added "We are all delighted that the public hold Ironbridge in such high regard as a destination for a great family day out. It is even more rewarding that we have been selected in 2009, as we are celebrating not only the 300th Anniversary of the start of the Industrial Revolution here in Ironbridge but also the opening of the many exciting new attractions at Blists Hill Victorian Town".
