About

Ludlow Town sits within a loop of the River Teme, with its historic core defined by the natural geography of the river's bend. The area is centred around a medieval street plan, where narrow lanes converge on the broad market square. This layout has dictated the town's development for centuries, with the streets leading directly to the castle walls and the ancient parish church.

The town's identity is closely tied to its weekly market, an event that has taken place for over 800 years. The presence of the ruined Ludlow Castle, a key Marcher fortress, dominates the skyline from many points. Local butchers and bakers often supply the area's numerous traditional pubs and restaurants, which are a focal point for daily life.
