Military aircraft around Telford/Ironbridge

Last weekend was in Telford area in Shropshire, in a town along the 'Ironbridge Gorge', a tourist attraction, and I was walking through a town, Coalport on route to a museum when a military jet flew overhead from South to North at about 2-3,000 feet.

I know for certain it was a military jet and through the course of my weekend in and around Telford and the Ironbridge gorge I saw at least 2 of these military jets pass overhead. I havn't a clue what type of jet they were but I am just curious as to why they were flying over Coalport/Telford area as, as far as I'm aware there are no RAF or even airports in the area other than Birmingham.

Cheers
