All about Ludlow
Some mighty fine restaurants lie in and around the medieval market town of Ludlow. But while splurging top dollar on the high-end cuisine is tempting, even the more affordable pubs, delis, and cafes offer a superior quality of provenance-focused fare. Localism isn’t a gimmick here, it’s a way of life — a byproduct of the area’s rich agriculture, which teems with artisanal producers and growers.
In Ludlow’s centre, streets of black-and-white buildings and sections of city walls evoke 900 years of history, while imposing Ludlow Castle, a product of the Norman, medieval, and Tudor periods, overlooks the River Teme and the Welsh Marches, the borderland of valleys and hills of which it was once capital. Whitcliffe Common is a wide area for easy strolling, while hardcore hikers can tackle the 30-mile Mortimer Trail, which runs into the Marches from Ludlow to Kington on the Welsh border, encountering steep hills, villages, and hill forts. Having a good time here is as simple as putting one foot in front of the other, revelling in the humps and dips of the landscape, and working up another appetite.

Ludlow Assembly Rooms
The 1840s Assembly Rooms was revamped in the 1990s to become a vibrant community and arts centre. It’s now home to an auditorium for live performance shows and cinema screenings, plus a cafe. It’s definitely worth checking to see what’s playing here during your stay.
