Brignorth shown within Shropshire

Bridgnorth is a town in Shropshire, England. It is split into Low Town and High Town, named on account of their elevations relative to the River Severn.

Low Town is home to the Severn Valley Railway and is connected to the High Town by a cliff railway.

High Town is dominated by Bridgnorth Castle and St Mary's church, designed by Thomas Telford. Other notable buildings in the town are the seventeenth century Bridgnorth Town Hall, a surviving town gate, and Daniel's Mill, a watermill.

The Castle, built in 1190 by Robert de Belleme (later Earl of Shrewsbury) was besieged four times in its history, last by Oliver Cromwell in 1646 during the English Civil War. Cromwell built an artificial hill (Panpudding Hill) across from the castle in order to bombard it, although the siege was broken by a traitor setting fire to High Town.
