Great little ride. £2.50 returns ticket. Very friendly and polite staff. Only takes about 2 minutes. Feels very safe and secure. Hardly any waiting. No need to pre-book. Nice views. Definitely worth a visit.

"A must-do if you're visiting Bridgnorth! The £2.50 return ticket is an absolute bargain for such a unique piece of Victorian engineering. The ride is short, but the wait times are minimal, and the staff are incredibly friendly. The views over the Severn Valley from the top are stunning, especially on a clear, sunny day. It’s also very dog-friendly (dogs travel free!), which made our walk between High Town and Low Town much easier. A great way to save your legs and soak in some history at the same time!"

We drove to Bridgnorth just to experience this cute 2 minute railway climb to the top and it was really worth it.. £2.50 for a to & fro service, the best couple of bucks you will spend :)

Few minutes ride from the top but I'd say it's a really good experience and worth it for £2.50 and free for kids.
