English castles captivate visitors from around the world, and Ludlow Castle should be on your list! Ludlow Castle is a magnificent example of a ruined castle set within the glorious Shropshire countryside. This fortress has witnessed centuries of drama, from royal court to civil war.  Today it is also home to many of Ludlow’s festivals, outdoor cinema and theatre events. Take a castle tour, walk through the grounds or join in events such as the food festival, family days or a re-enacted battle.

Ludlow town is steeped in centuries of history so make certain to plan enough time to amble through this historic town and maybe sample one of the fine eating houses.  Ludlow is a major hub for the UK’s Slow Food movement and seasonal Shropshire ingredients.
