A visit to Bridgnorth

The ancient market town straddles the magnificent River Severn. It comprises Low Town and atop dramatic 100 foot sandstone cliffs,High Town. The two are linked by seven sets of historic steps, the famous Cliff Railway and by a Cartway, a meandering street steeped in history. Bridgnorth is the ideal centre from which to explore the glorious countryside of Shropshire's Severn Valley
