Hampton Loade is a picturesque village in Shropshire that is famous for being situated on the River Severn and for having a cable ferry that has been working here for about 400 years. The cable or chain ferry takes passengers across the river from Hampton Loade to Hampton.
The Severn Valley Railway runs through Hampton Loade and has a station here. This makes it a popular destination for tourists but there is also ample parking and plenty of space for a picnic if you are arriving by car.
