Bridgnorth 3

Walking round the Bridgnorth Town Walls

Everywhere, there are steps down to the lower levels...

...and good views over the Severn

One of the reasons Bridgnorth is so nice is the bypass, (seen here crossing the river) which keeps away all the heavy traffic.

The Castle Keep

It leans more than the Tower at Pisa

Bridgnorth's other church, St Mary's

Built in 1792, and very different to St Leonard's

Thomas Telford was the architect - which surprised me: thought he did canals and industrial work

The Castle Gardens have this great battleship...

...and aeroplane,...

...alongside the war memorial

Carrying on along the walls,...

...I descended past the former Kingdom Hall (I'd never noticed it before - shows what walking can do)

Back to the sign near the bridge, reminding us about the river's history

Walking further along the river bank, this car park amused me: it's on a higher level, to avoid the flooding

There was also the site of a Franciscan Friary

All along, were good views of the other bank

I turned round at this tempting sign: the Severn Way. Another long distance path to get my teeth into 

 But that's for the future.
