We visited the Bridgnorth pub full of vintage charm that pulls the perfect pint for avid trainspotters and locals alike

The Railwayman's Arms is the perfect place for a cold pint while watching vintage trains pass through the Severn Valley.

We paid a visit to the beloved Railwayman's Arms in Bridgnorth - a pub that offers cold pints, brilliant snacks and fantastic views - no wonder so many people keep on coming back. 

Pubs offer a range of great things to our lovely communities, from great drinks, tasty foods and pleasant conversation, however, one thing at the Railwayman's Arms that encourages customers to return is the heritage locomotives that run right by.

The Railwayman's Arms sits on the Severn Valley Railway line in Hollybush Lane so it isn't your regular town centre local. Thousands of people travel from all over the country to have a drink in this brilliant pub. 

Originally opened as a refreshment room in 1861, The Railwayman's Arms has been serving drinks to weary travellers for more than 100 years.

The pub sits on Platform One of the Severn Valley Railway Station and features a comfortable relaxed feel that is approachable for even the most non-pub inclined traveller.

Now I must admit, I'm not really a pubgoer, but I adored the Railwayman's Arms.
