The River Severn looking downstream from the old bridge at Bridgnorth, and views upstream from the higher level of Castle Walk.
The day of my visit was when the water level had begun to fall after the flooding of the first storm of the winter. Traces of the mud left by the flood could still be seen on the riverside footpath, and even on the seats of the benches there. The water was still high and fast flowing, with whirlpools constantly forming and dispersing where the water emerged from the arches of the bridge.
