On Tuesday I decide to take the local bus to Bridgnorth. This is another small town about 20 minutes away. But first I take the dogs for their run. It's a cloud burst and we get caught in the rain.
It's hard to tell from this photo but being long haired dogs you can just imagine the mud and wet dog smell. All I manage is a quick towelling off when we get home.
Thankfully Kate leant me her jacket. When it really blows and pours my jacket just isn't enough.
It suddenly clears up so I take a quick walk to the cemetery. Very old. The church on the property is very quaint. The soil is soft and a lot of the grave markers have fallen over or are leaning precariously.
After catching the bus to Bridgnorth I walk along the castle gardens. The view from here is beautiful. The river Severn flows below.
What's left of the castle.
Beautiful gardens surround the remnants of the castle.
St. Mary's.
This is the old Cliff Railway. It takes you from High Town to Low Town or the other way around depending on where you want to go. I had to try it out.
Pretty steep.
Shakespeare was here??
High Street is the main street and has several interesting buildings.
The Town Hall was erected in 1652.
In the soft sandstone under the castle grounds there are several holes and 400 years ago soldiers actually dug a tunnel towards the church up above.
Some of these outs 'holes' were used for storage and also homes. Speaking of home it's time to head back. Great day at Bridgnorth.
