Bridgnorth Castle and Gardens — Attraction in Bridgnorth

A beautiful, well kept, picturesque place to visit. Not a huge space though and can get really busy sometimes. We park at Severn Valley, walk over the bridge and up the hill, which is OK during lockdown as the car park is empty, but when the trains are running you'll struggle, plus it's fairly expensive to park there if you're only planning to stay an jour or 2.

I saw this beautiful place while visiting the small town and I'm so glad I made the stop. This place is small but oh so beautiful. You cannot see much of the castle just ruins scattered around among the amazing gardens. These are beautifully maintained and you can walk along the pathways and see all the different flowers and plants. Doggies do need to be kept on the lead at all times. Please be mindful that there's not really parking, apart from the street parking in front which allows only 30min of free parking for non residents.
