Things to see and do Bridgnorth

Bridgnorth, England, is a picturesque town well worth a visit. It is divided into two parts: High Town and Low Town. The High Town is home to the castle, churches and magnificent 16th- and 17th-century mansions. Low Town was once a bustling port on the River Severn. To reach either part of the town, you can take the steepest funicular railway in the country. The town also offers a number of staircases and steep paths for the more energetic, where goods were once transported to market. Today, these markets offer antiques and local produce. Bridgnorth Castle, although partially destroyed during the Civil War, offers a breathtaking view of the town. Nearby, an iron bridge leads to the Severn Valley Railway station, where you can take a steam train to explore the magnificent Severn Valley.

Temporary exhibitions are dedicated to renowned English stylists. A museum of accessories presents fabrics and lace. The Birth Gallery has been offering a children's museum since the beginning of Victorian times: dolls with their home and wardrobe, as well as a Teddy Bears collection, the famous English teddy bears. Mothers can drive their sick daughter at Dolls Hospital, dolls hospital where they will find advice from specialists.

From the imposing castle Normand built under the reign of Henry II, there is only one tower whose inclination more than 15 ° (more than the tower of Pisa) is at least worrying! The rest was demolished during the civil war. From the garden, we have a very nice view over the Severn and the valley.
