Bridgnorth surely is one of the most spectacular inland towns in England. Sitting high on a sandstone cliffs with lots and lots of history, it's fair to say the town has had its ups and downs, and all have left their mark on Bridgnorth's development over the years.

The town is divided in two - a high town and low town. You can experience caves, a castle, a funicular cliff railway, and a steam railway that regulary travels down the Severn Valley through Bewdley to Kidderminster. You can find out more on events during the English civil war and catastrophes that all have a bearing on the town you see today.

Bridgnorth is bordered and divided by Britain's longest river, The Severn, there are spectacular views of the valley and low town from the high town. King Charles I, 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.

The town has won 5 consecutive gold medals in the Britain in Bloom competition and a silver award in the European floral competition. There are many shops, pubs, festivals, and events. There are two markets - a livestock market (Monday afternoons) and a street market (Saturday mornings) as well as a permanent indoor market area and a market under the Town Hall (Fridays).

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.
