"An Architectural Paradise"
Ludlow boasts around
500 listed buildings. The town centre has so much
amazing architectural heritage with buildings from
different eras right next to each other. Many of the
buildings are in regular commercial use which
enables much enjoyment to be sought from visitors to
the town. |

As well as a selection of quality shops, Ludlow provides
traditional and speciality markets in the market square five
or six days a week. Much of the food sold on the markets has
been locally produced the traditional way.
The river Teme provides a range of recreational facilities.
At the Linney park you can picnic, play putting or hire a
rowing boat. Downstream at the Millennium Green the river
widens out and flows over a shingly beach that has been
enjoyed as a paddling pool by generations. Free fishing is
available on stretches of the riverbank.
Ludlow castle remains very much a working building being the
home of annual events including an open air Shakespeare
production, a vintage rally, a Christmas Fayre with a
medieval flavour and the annual food festival that is known
as the best of its kind in the country.

St. Laurence’s Church – awe inspiring and one

The Marches area is well
blessed with impressive country houses, many of which are
owned by the National Trust and open to visitors. There are
also plenty of fine gardens in the area open to the public. |
