BRIDGNORTH, St. Mary Magdalene. Photo taken from the bridge

Bridgnorth is beautifully perched atop a sandstone cliff with spectacular views of the Severn Valley. Being divided by the river gives off the impression of it being two towns really, a high town and a low town. It's a pretty place and has an interesting history going back to the English civil war and some more. Well worth a visit.

Bridge can get very busy so worth pushing the bike at times. Excellent views when water is up.

The Clock Tower stands at the east end of Bridgnorth Bridge. Built of the very best Broseley bricks, it is mounted by a belfry and weather vane. On the West side Bridgnorth time is displayed for all by the clock tower.

The buff coloured sandstone is about the average height of a man and as broad as a rugby prop forward. The block weighing two tonnes was hewn at Grinshill quarry near Shrewsbury. A recess has been cut into it to hold a brass plaque, held in place with high security fixings. The inscription reads as follows. This memorial commemorates the bond that exists between the people of Bridgnorth and the former Royal Air Force Station Bridgnorth (1939-1963). It records the contribution to World Peace during those years of conflict, by the men and women who were trained there.

Lavington's Hole is a Civil War-aged tunnel in the town of Bridgnorth, Shropshire. Several caves known as the Hermitage Caves also exist near the tunnel, dug out during the Saxon era by Alfred the Great's grandson. Lavington's Hole is a Civil War tunnel dug into the sandstone cliffs that underpin Bridgnorth Castle. The tunnel was built under the direction of a Parliamentarian engineer named Colonel Lavington. HISTORY The 12th-century fortress of Bridgnorth Castle stands on red sandstone cliffs high above the River Severn. The base of the cliffs is riddled with caves and tunnels, some of which have been used as dwellings. Bridgnorth supported the Royalist cause during the Civil War and a large number of Royalist soldiers were garrisoned in the town. Oliver Cromwell sent a Parliamentarian army to take the town, forcing the Royalists to fall back into the castle. Caves along the cliff face Three weeks of bombardment failed to force the castle defenders into submission, so the Parliamentary commanders tried a new strategy. Knowing that the Royalists had stored their gunpowder in St Mary's Church at the top of the cliffs, a team of men under an engineer named Colonel Lavington began to dig a 70-foot tunnel into Castle Hill, hoping to undermine the church and blow up the gunpowder store. The castle defenders would have heard the sound of their enemy's picks under their feet, which perhaps accounts for the fact that they surrendered before Lavington's men had finished the tunnel. The tunnel entrance is on Underhill Street (the B4363) a short stroll south of Bridgnorth Bridge. The entrance is protected by a cast-iron gate for safety reasons, so you can't enter the tunnel itself, but you can look through the grill to get a sense of the scale of the tunnel. The opening is 14 feet across, 18 feet deep, and 19 feet high (roughly 4.3m x 5.5m x 5.8m). Lavington's tunnel extends 69 feet (21m) from this opening.
