Bridgnorth is a bustling market town resting in Shropshire, enjoying two very distinct halves - the High Town and the Low Town - separated by the red sandstone ridge. Here, you will be delighted to find Saturday street market and castle ruins, which lean at a greater angle than the Leaning Tower of Pisa!
