One of the features of Bridgnorth which many visitors miss is the half-dozen or so set of steps connecting the riverside to High Town, formerly important in joining the upper town to the busy port on the river. Stoneway Steps run close by the Cliff Railway. They srart beside the lower station of the Railway, pass the Theatre on the Steps, and continue in their deep cutting in the sandstone cliffs to emerge between the top end of Cartway and the Railway’s upper station/
Beside the steps, the bare sandstone walls of the cutting provde a home for damp and shade-loving plants like this crescent-cup liverwort.
