Bridgnorth is a historic market town in Shropshire, England, split into High Town and Low Town, which are connected by England's oldest and steepest inland funicular railway. Nestled on the banks of the River Severn, Bridgnorth offers an appealing blend of characterful architecture and picturesque scenery. The High Town features narrow streets and alleyways, lined with traditional shops, cafes, and a market that dates back to 1157. It's also the location of Bridgnorth Castle, although only a tower remains after it was blown up during the English Civil War, now leaning at a greater angle than the Leaning Tower of Pisa!
Bridgnorth is well known for the Severn Valley Railway, a heritage steam railway line running from Bridgnorth to Kidderminster, offering visitors the chance to travel through the beautiful Shropshire countryside in vintage carriages. The town's cliff railway is another unique attraction, operating between High Town and Low Town. For those interested in the town's history, a visit to the Bridgnorth Town Hall, a Grade II* listed, timber-framed building, or the Northgate Museum which holds a collection of local artefacts, is highly recommended.
Beyond the town, visitors can explore the wider Shropshire area with its numerous attractions. The Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site, considered the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, is just a short drive away. Other nearby places of interest include the market towns of Much Wenlock and Shrewsbury, and the stunning Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. With its picturesque location, rich history, and access to wider attractions, Bridgnorth provides a captivating destination for visitors.
