Bridgnorth & The Severn Valley
"With its head up in heaven - its toes in the Severn". Anon
Upon seeing Bridgnorth, Charles the First declared it, "the finest view in all my Kingdom", as he gazed, awestruck, from the top of this delightful town. Praise indeed but you can easily see why the King (prematurely) lost his head, for the view remains as stunning today as it was 350 years ago, with the High Town perching a hundred feet above the Low Town and the River Severn.
Whether you admire the view over the king's shoulder, from the sandstone cliff of Bridgnorth, or stand on the bridge below, you won't have to look far to find a superlative in the Severn Valley. Like the King, most visitors can't restrain themselves either.
Bridgnorth and the Severn Valley hosts many events throughout the year and regular street markets add to the colour. So whether you are looking for art, music, crafts or to celebrate old fashioned steam travel there is bound to be something to delight and amuse the family. Check out our event search to find one for you.
And we are not short of attractions and distractions either - a check on our attractions listing will reveal all.
