Bridgnorth
Bridgnorth sits high on a sandstone cliff and is divided into two; known as High Town and Low Town. There are caves, a castle, a cliff railway, it is bordered and divided by Britain's longest river, The Severn, where spectacular views of the valley can be seen.
King Charles I, who upon visiting the town in 1642 remarked that the view is "the finest in my domain". The town has two unique heritage railways: a Cliff Railway that climbs from the Severn to the high town and the famous Severn Valley Railway operating vintage trains on a beautiful sixteen mile stretch of riverside line.
There are shops and pubs, events and many places to explore. There are two markets - a livestock market and a street market as well as a permanent indoor market area and a Friday market under the Town Hall.
There are lovely side streets to explore with fine houses and cottages, the remains of a Friary, eight sets of steps to get up and down the town, a bridge, old residential caves and much more.
