Ludlow is overshadowed by its own majestic castle, as it was once, like York, a seat of Government in Tudor and Stuart England. Now hosting the famous food festivals and events throughout the year, there is always a lively atmosphere in the town. It has a reputation for fine foods, award-winning restaurants, speciality and antique shops and even a racecourse.
There are public paths from the property which guests can use to walk into the town or to visit one of the many pubs or restaurants. An excellent base to explore the unrivalled countryside for picnicking and walking, or nearby towns such as Bridgnorth and Bewdley (Severn Valley Railway), Ironbridge, Much Wenlock, Church Stretton, Tenbury Wells and Leominster.
The cathedral city of Hereford with its chained library and Mappa Mundi are all within a short drive, as are historic houses such as Witley Court, Berrington Hall, Croft Castle, Stokesay Castle and Powis Castle on the Welsh borders. Acton Scott, an historic working farm and the Secret Hills Discovery Centre are all just a few of the nearby attractions, so you will never be short of something to see. Pub within 1 mile.

This is a fantastic holiday home. Spotlessly clean, very well equipped with everything you could want, comfy beds and luxurious bathrooms. The location is perfect - uninterrupted countryside views, cows grazing on the other side of the fence, and a big, airy garden with plenty of shade. Definitely one of the top two cottages we have ever stayed in (which is well over 50 in all!)
