John Betjeman called Ludlow "the perfect historic town".

Situated on the River Teme in the outstanding countryside of the Welsh Marches, its medieval street pattern survives almost intact, along with many ancient properties including the magnificent ruined castle and one of the largest parish churches in England. There are over 500 listed buildings, mostly medieval or Georgian, in the town. Broad Street has often been called 'the best street in England' (have a look and you'll see why), and the Feathers Hotel with its stunning timber facade must be the most photographed hotel in Britain.

But don't think Ludlow is a museum, or a toy town fit only for gastronomic tourists. Far from it, it's a vibrant, exciting town that's full of life. There's always plenty going on including other festivals, and attractions such as the Ludlow Assembly Rooms. For more information about Ludlow visit www.ludlow.org.uk .

Ludlow is a central point in the Welsh Marches. Wonderful, unspoiled hilly countryside that straddles the border between Wales and England. Lots of ruined castles, unspoiled villages and small towns, and a very special character. More information about South Shropshire at www.southshropshire.org.uk .
