2. Bridgnorth Castle Hill Railway

A short trip to Bridgnorth Low Town on a heritage feature. The descent lasts only a couple of minutes, is good value return fare and our dog was free. The stop point is ideal for the Severn Valley Railway and river walks. We returned to High Town along the main road towards the Castle Gardens rather than the Funicular (only took a few minutes anyway). Worth a visit - young children would probably enjoy the experience. A little girl travelling in our 'car' was thrilled.

The gardens surrounding the remains of the castle are kept beautifully with a vast array of plants and flowers. The castle grounds are a short walk from the cliff railway and there is a walkway right round the outside of the castle grounds providing a spectacular view of the surrounding area the river and the Severn Valley Railway, which is just a short walk down the hill and over a bridge from here.

I've been to a few national trust places around the Midlands but Dudmaston Hall is definitely one of my favourites. We went for a wonderful walk around the Big Pool there which is home to lots of different species of bird. The tea room is lovely too and there is a great picnic area. The hall itself is closed due to covid-19 at the moment but when I visited prior to the pandemic (late 2019) and was able to go inside I found the tour of the house interesting and memorable and the staff there are always welcoming and friendly. Lots of space for kids to play and areas for dog walking too if you're travelling with either or both. Worth mentioning that they are doing a great job of keeping everyone safe and ensuring social distancing is being maintained in these strange times too. Felt very safe and comfortable! Highly recommended.

We were fortunate enough to spend a glorious weekend at UC with the owners, William and Laura. The love and care put into restoring this Elizabethan Hall surpasses anything I have seen before. Every room is beautifully restored and decorated - the beds big and comfortable, spectacular painted ceilings and walls by the renowned artist Adam Dant, a superb gatehouse, a spiral staircase up the tower, freestanding baths, beautiful gardens and then there are the cottages to rent as well! The whole place is a dream - romantic, comfortable and the wonderful feeling of going back in time. And of course William and Laura have a wealth of knowledge when it comes to history and literature, not to mention millinery - Laura makes incredible hats and has her studio in the grounds. We can't wait to be invited to stay again or if lock down returns, move into one of the cottages for a month or 2!
