The Bridgnorth Cliff Railway links Low Town beside the Severn with High Town and the castle ruins above, on a gradient of up to 64%. It is one of the steepest funiculars in Britain. Bridgnorth is also the northern terminus of the Severn Valley Railway, so you can do a heritage railway and a cliff ride in one visit.
