Bridgnorth

Bridgnorth

Often referred to as "The Jewel of The Severn" Bridgnorth occupies one of the most spectacular inland town settings in England. In 1642 King Charles I described the view from Castle Walk as "the finest in my domain".

The town has two main areas: 'High Town' includes the main shopping street and is perched dramatically on top of one hundred foot sandstone cliffs.

Bridgnorth View

The lower part is known as "Low Town" and straddles the River Severn. The two are linked by a series of historic winding steps and a unique cliff railway.

The northern terminus of the Severn Valley railway is a short stroll from the Croft Hotel.

Lots to see, places to go and things to do

From the popular Severn Valley Railway to the country’s only inland Cliff Railway, beautiful riverside walks, canoeing trips and the popular weekend markets, as well as nearby attractions such as Ironbridge and RAF Cosford, and of course the wonderful Shropshire countryside!

Great places to eat

From Indian and Thai to Chinese and Cantonese to ‘traditional’ English fare, there’s plenty of different options. And for the vegetarians and vegans among you, why not try lunch at the Cinnamon Café?

…and drink!

Bridgnorth has bars galore, from the traditional English pub with a fantastic collection of real ales to more modern, lively bars.
