Ludlow is perhaps one of Britain’s best-preserved medieval towns with many black and white houses and with events and festivals throughout the year. The historic town centre and the 11th century Ludlow Castle are situated on a cliff above the River Teme. The town is surrounded by the beautiful countryside of south Shropshire and the Welsh Marches.
Ludlow has a reputation for the quality of its food and drink with many excellent restaurants and cafes and independent shops. Every September the town is filled with food lovers for the Ludlow Food and Drink Festival
The Bull Ring in the town centre was once the site of bull baiting events in the Middle Ages. Dominating the town is the famous Ludlow Castle – built by Roger de Mortimer (image above) shortly after the Norman conquest, to protect the area from Welsh raids. The churchyard contains the ashes of A E Housman (poet and author of “A Shropshire Lad”).
