Bridgnorth Cottages

Bridgnorth is an ancient market town situated in the Severn Valley, Shropshire. Set on a red sandstone ridge, it was at one time the busiest river port in England. Bridgnorth cottages can be found in and around the area and can be rented from the agent listed further down the page.

Bridgnorth is split into the The Low Town and High Town, which are both connected by a cliff railway and flights of steep steps. The Low town, on the banks of the River Severn has a collection of fine 17th century houses and mansions including Diamond Hall, which was built by Colonel Roger Pope from the winnings of his horse Diamond.

The High Town consists of stepped streets, lined by re-tiled houses with tall chimneys. A number of inns and half-timbered Georgian buildings also lie in this part of Bridgnorth, as does the 18th century church, St Mary Magdalene built by Thomas Telford. Castle walk which runs past a leaning Norman Castle keep, affords some wonderful views across the Severn Valley.

Other highlights include the Northgate Museum, which vividly showcases the town's history, and the caves and cliffs of the nearby Lavington Gardens. Details about Bridgnorth accommodation can be found below with a link to Cottages 4 you, one of the leading cottage rental agents in the UK.
