Ludlow is a medieval market town and has more beautiful buildings than you can shake a stick at. With cobbled streets and black and white timbered buildings, it's an incredibly picturesque location.

The town has many independent shops, restaurants and accommodation options, making it a fascinating and unique place to visit. Almost 500 of its buildings are listed and every street contains something to gawp at. On the banks of the River Teme, the town has several stunning bridges and an 11th-century castle.
