Bridgnorth Castle Ruins

Highlight • Monument

Bridgnorth Castle was founded in 1101-1102 by Robert de Belleme, Earl of Shrewsbury. It was a mighty fortress in its heyday but fell into a state of disrepair by 1281 and was nearly ruined by the time of Henry VIII's reign. In 1646, the castle was surrendered to Parliamentary troops following a three-week siege. The fortress was stripped and the walls were systematically mined and blown up. All that remains of the castle today is the severely listing tower keep. Bridgnorth Castle is a scheduled monument.

Severn Valley Country Park

Highlight • Trail

Once a vast coal mining site, this vibrant area is now a thriving country park. Spanning 126 acres (51 ha), the park hugs the banks of the River Severn and comprises woodlands, meadows and the gorgeous Highley heritage train station.

The park is on both sides of the river, covering the land between Highley and Alveley. With trails suitable for walking, cycling and horse riding, there's plenty to do here. An accessible trail means you can navigate this pretty area easily with pushchairs and wheelchairs too.

A cafe and facilities are also on site plus plenty of parking space.

Dudmaston Hall and Estate

Highlight • Monument

Nestled deep in the Severn Valley, Dudmaston Hall has been lived in by one family for over 875 years. The hall as it stands today was mostly built in the 17th century, but its origins date back to the 1100s. Still lived in today, by the Hamilton-Russell family, the Hall continues to be involved in community, arts and cultural events.
