"Has there ever been a visitor to Ludlow who hasn't wished they lived there?" - Jeremy Paxman.

Bursting with delightful independent, artisan restaurants, quirky bars, tempting cafes, delis and cosy pubs, Ludlow is a real foodies haven. Famed for the many events and festivals that take place throughout the year including the unmissable annual Medieval Christmas Fayre and Ludlow Food and Drink Festival.

Sheltered beneath the Mortimer Forest and Clee Hills, Ludlow is a walkers paradise with incredible nearby areas of outstanding natural beauty just waiting to be explored such as the Longmynd, Caer Caradoc, the Stiperstones and Wenlock Edge.

Hours can be spent exploring the main streets, market, numerous lanes and back alleys all overflowing with independent and unique shops as well as a handful of well known high street stores from antique and curiosity shops, book and craft shops, high end clothes and homeware stores.

And should you be intrigued by our gorgeous neighbouring villages, towns and cities, Leominster, Pembridge, Hereford, Bromyard, Shrewsbury and Telford are all within an easy driving distance.

"Probably the loveliest town in England." - Sir John Betjeman
