The pretty market town of Bridgnorth is a must see place. About 20min drive from our place. Bridgnorth is split into low town down by the riverside and high town up above. There is a Victorian funicular railway to take you up to high town if you park by the river. There are a multitude of shops, pubs and restaurants. And a stroll around the old town walls and the remains of the ancient castle are free and well worth it. You can also pop over to the Severn valley rail station to see the steam trains too.

The market is on Saturdays but there are plenty of shops and places to see on any day. Park and ride nearby but we always manage to find somewhere in high town.

We absolutely love Shrewsbury.

Explore the sunken garden in the Dingle. Google a Shrewsbury walking trail and explore the alleyways and boutiques of the town centre. Explore every level of the indoor markets. Go to Darwin’s library and the castle. So much to do here. Ask us for ideas for great days out and places to eat, drink and have coffee!
