Looking down from the top of the Bridgnorth Cliff Railway in 2004.

The Bridgnorth Cliff Railway links the High Town and Low Town areas of Bridgnorth. The track length is 201 ft (61.2 metres), with a gradient of 1 in 1.8 and a rise of 111 ft (33.8 metres) at an angle of 33 degrees. It is one of the steepest railways in England, and at least one source (the information panel outside the top station) claims it is both the steepest and shortest.
