Ludlow is a quaint market town nestled in rural South Shropshire, England. 
From historic ancient ruins to tranquil sweeping back streets, Ludlow is a wholesome and inviting place with endless attractions and sights. It is like stepping back in time, with a feeling of fantasy and an aura of enchantment.  

The town has around 500 listed medieval and Tudor buildings and is located near the confluence of the rivers Corve and Teme. Due to the scenic sights and rolling countryside, Ludlow is a perfect tourist attraction and place to call home. The oldest part is the medieval walled town, founded in the 11th century after the Norman conquest of England. 

Ludlow Castle is a popular sight to see when visiting the area, with features of architecture from the Norman, Medieval and Tudor period. The castle is placed in a high and dominant position that overlooks the river Teme. 

Despite being small, Ludlow is full of huge character and charm. The atmosphere is bustling with local and independent restaurants and shops. There is a personal touch found within Ludlow, as many shops are family run businesses, owners who have a desire and passion to provide excellent food, clothing, crafts, antiques, books, and a variety of many specialist products.

A traditional open-air market can be found every Monday, Friday, and Saturday in the Market Square, with Wednesday markets also taking place from April to September.
