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.

Visited the tea room as we were staying close by, Rosalie is a friendly welcoming lady and bakes all her produce, which is lovely we sampled many of her products and enjoyed all. Beautiful setting for cake and a possible visit to Daniel's Mill.

Set majestically in the centre of the High Street, the old Town Hall of Bridgnorth is impossible to miss and has to be the most photographed building in the town. Originally a barn in a nearby village, it was brought to the High Street and set on stilts so traffic could pass beneath. Whilst this was stopped many years ago, people continue to walk beneath its arches and markets are held there on Fridays and Saturdays. But this tourist attraction is worthy of more than just a quick look from the outside. Ascend the stairs and marvel at this living museum, still used by the local people for meetings and civic occasions. Enjoy coffee and a cake whilst sitting in one of the oak panelled rooms admiring the ancient stained glass window. Learn some of the history of the town from the information displayed on the walls or from the knowledgeable staff on hand. See where the Judge used to sit when passing sentence on those who broke the laws of the borough, occasionally resulting in a one way trip to the gallows when the building was used as a Court. Children can dress up in the costumes provided whilst adults view the interesting artefacts on display. No trip to Bridgnorth would be complete without a visit to the Town Hall.

We visit here every week for a quick drink after a trip into Bridgnorth. It’s a fantastic pub, with great beers and cider. The staff are super friendly and very efficient. They have been following covid restrictions and I felt very safe!

Travelling with a couple of friends, to celebrate a belated 50th birthday, this was our first port of call after taking the steam train from Kidderminster. What a fantastic start to the day. We marched up the incline and made a bee line for the bar. Some great ales, and a really nice and unusual offering was a wooden platter of three 1/3 pints of your choice, as a sampler. Every pub should do this! The Scotch Eggs were unbelievable and not to be missed. I wish they were available on mail order! Lovely beer garden, and good fortune was upon us as the sun shone down, while we indulged in the pleasures afforded by this great establishment. Full marks 10/10

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.

We came across this very imposing Monument on a walkabout in Bridgnorth, the Monument is in a lovely park and it looks out towards the famous `Severn Valley Railway` across the valley. We took many photographs of the Monument and also of the Railway from a great vista point just in front of the Monument.
