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.

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.
4. Bridgnorth Town Hall

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.

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.

What a lovely and magical day out with our 9 month old baby. We can't wait to bring her again as she's gets older. Can't believe there are negative reviews, people just love to moan I guess! The woodland walk is magical with so many quirky little features for children to explore, there's even den building and climbing ropes! There is a lovely variety of animals and it's such a great experience being able to freely explore the goat pen! Definitely our little girl's favourite part. We can't wait for her to play in the sand pit play area and other little play area when she's abit older, it's fab!!

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 visited the Ship on a family break as 3 families. Lovely pub nestled on the River Severn. I had a carvery and it was delicious. Plenty of meat carved by the very friendly chef. £9 on a Sunday was very reasonably priced. Staff were friendly and helpful. Gorgeous weather made it a memorable day out.
