OFFICE DU TOURISME DE 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.
