Bridgnorth, Market town in Shropshire, England
Bridgnorth stands divided between High Town and Low Town, connected by steps and a cliff railway along the sandstone cliffs of River Severn.
Robert of Bellême established the settlement in 1101 by constructing a castle and church, transforming the area into a strategic military position.
The town maintains its medieval street pattern with numerous Tudor and Georgian buildings, traditional markets, and independently owned shops throughout High Street.
The Bridgnorth Library and Visitor Information Point on Listley Street provides tourist information and local guidance for exploring both sections of town.
The Bridgnorth Cliff Railway, England's oldest and steepest inland funicular railway, carries passengers between High Town and Low Town since 1892.
