Ludlow and
The Shropshire Hills
Introduction
T
ake a journey of discovery through the
protected landscape of The Shropshire
Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural
Beauty. Experience its contrasts;
tranquil valleys, ancient woods, lush dales,
flower rich meadows and mysterious hills.
Wherever you decide to roam, wildlife
abounds in The Shropshire Hills: curlew, red
grouse and skylark breed on the exposed
hilltops. Buzzards soar above and dippers and
kingfishers frequent the streams in the valleys
below. Walk, ride or cycle and experience miles
of total solitude amongst glorious scenery.
Sample local produce from the farmers
markets and browse among the small shops
offering personal service, a warm welcome and
a wealth of choice of clothes, gifts, hardware,
antiques, food and much more. Ludlow has
something for everyone with its shops, cafés,
markets, restaurants, the castle, the river and
the hills. You will find it somewhere to come
back to regularly, for ‘just another visit’.

2 Introduction
www.visitsouthshropshire.co.uk
The Shropshire Hills inspire many fine artists
and artisans who use traditional methods
and materials to produce new and traditional
crafts. Textiles, furniture, paintings, jewellery,
ceramics, sculptures and other artefacts are
displayed in the shops, studios, craft centres
and galleries around the area.
Whatever you choose to see and do, come and
unwind in a place where nature’s influence on
man is always evident, where people live and
work in spectacularly beautiful surroundings,
a place where communities still thrive and will
give you a sincere welcome.

Fantastic
Food
Fine Ales, Fun Festivals
Too good to keep to ourselves
T
he richly contrasting terrain of The Shropshire Hills forms the bedrock on
which the fields and pastures grow. And upon those fields and open
spaces there’s a lot of growing and grazing going on. Much of this
delightful produce is available from the gate in farm shops, in regular
farmers markets and in the shops, pubs and restaurants that you will find in
many of the local towns and villages. This locally grown and produced food
has helped develop Ludlow’s reputation for gastronomy, enticing chefs
from across the country to bring their skills into the area and offer quality
repasts to all. It’s not just the Michelin starred restaurants that produce
fine food. Call in to any of the small cafés, tearooms, pubs and restaurants
and they will all have their specialities, locally produced or home-made.
Many display the ‘Local to Ludlow’ logo and will be able to tell you exactly
where certain ingredients come from, sometimes the field across the
valley. The quality of the locally produced meat, game, fruit, vegetables,
dairy products and preserves is of prime importance and visitors will be
able to taste and appreciate food and drink at its best.
Microbreweries are spread across the county from Hobsons in Cleobury
Mortimer, heading west to the Ludlow Brewing Company and the Corfton
Brewery in the Corvedale, passing Woods Brewery in Wistanstow and on out to
Bishop’s Castle with the Six Bells and The Three Tuns Breweries. These fine ales are
celebrated, not just in the local pubs, but also during the festivals held in Ludlow,
Church Stretton, Clun and Bishop’s Castle throughout the year.
Visit us during one of the many festivals and enjoy food, real ale, locally made
products, music or the arts. The local communities have much to offer and
nature’s influence is seen in all they produce, from beautiful furniture to fine
food from the Green Man Festival to the Michaelmas Fair.
Ludlow’s festivals have become world renowned; with Shakespeare in the
castle in the summer, a wonderful feast at the Marches Food and Drink
Festival in the autumn and the atmospheric Medieval Fayre in November.
Come and stay in welcoming accommodation, eat fabulous food,
sample the local brew and enjoy the wide variety of events taking place
throughout the year. You will wish you’d booked to stay longer.

Ludlow
“England’s finest market town” - Country Life
Explore medieval streets
L
udlow is often called ‘the perfect historic town’ and with nearly 500 listed
buildings and a Norman castle it has always been a working market town
serving the needs of a large rural area.
Explore the pattern of the original medieval streets and discover what links
Ludlow’s past to the present.
Ludlow’s heart is centred around the castle, a major administrative centre in the 16th century,
from where the border area known as The Marches, was governed. Many well-known houses
such as Castle Lodge and The Feathers were built at this time.
Like most listed buildings in Ludlow, the castle is still in use today hosting the annual Ludlow
Festival with its open air Shakespearean production, the nationally acclaimed Food and Drink
Festival and a Medieval Christmas Fayre.
The parish church of St. Laurence reflects the town’s prosperity in the 14th and 15th centuries.
It is one of England’s ‘Greater Churches’ with fine misericords and stained glass. Climb to the top
of the tower for stunning views.
Ludlow later became a fashionable social centre and county families built elegant brick houses.
Broad Street, with the Buttercross at the top and the Broadgate at the bottom, is certainly one
of the country’s finest streets. The Assembly Rooms, built in 1840, are as much in use today as a
busy multi-purpose Arts Centre.
Ludlow has always been primarily a market town and this tradition continues today
with a lively market on four days a week in addition to regular Antique and Flea
markets, Garden Fairs, Book and Craft markets. At the monthly ‘Local Produce
Market’ the market square is filled with stalls selling a mouth-watering
range of local food and drink. With a wide range of independent shops
from butchers, bakers and bookshops to shops selling clothing,
fine foods and antiques, Ludlow offers a top quality shopping
experience.
If you’re in need of refreshment there’s a tempting selection of
places to eat and drink, from historic inns selling local beers
to acclaimed restaurants using the best of local produce.
While in Ludlow take time to visit the Museum in Castle
Street. There are exhibitions telling the story of Ludlow
from the building of the Castle to the present day and
‘Reading the Rocks’ celebrates Ludlow’s contribution to
international geology.
The River Teme is very much a part of Ludlow’s history
and prosperity. Five weirs produced power for a series
of watermills. Today the Teme provides an area for
recreation and relaxation, with rowing boats, the ‘Bread
Walk’ riverside path, and the Dinham Millenium Green.
Across the river is Whitcliffe Common, the town’s common
land in the Middle Ages. Today it is an unspoilt leisure
amenity with paths affording fine panoramic views of
the town.
There is no doubt that the quality of life in Ludlow makes it a
good place to live and to visit and why Ludlow has become the
UK’s first ‘Cittaslow’ or Slow City, as well as headquarters of the Slow
Food Movement in the UK.
Take time to explore and enjoy all that Ludlow has to offer. You will
certainly want to return.

Bishop’s
Castle
Refreshing... in more ways than one!
A friendly medieval town
B
ishop’s Castle is a friendly medieval town with a fascinating architectural
mixture. Although a small town, it boasts two breweries, good pubs and
cafés and a host of individual shops and galleries. There are
festivals throughout the year.
Its past is celebrated by two museums, one of local history
and one about the famous Bishop’s Castle railway.
The gradient of the top part of the main street
is 1 in 6 – no wonder there is a House on
Crutches! Even higher up is the site of the
old castle where you can see the remains
of the castle wall and enjoy the views of
The Shropshire Hills – this is excellent
walking and cycling country.
The ridges of the Stiperstones and
the Long Mynd lie to the north east
while to the west Offa’s Dyke runs
along the old border.
The clock on St. John’s Church, at the
bottom of town, is one of the few
remaining one-handed clocks in the
country. Perhaps this one handed
clock really does take its time, leaving
the townsfolk with more time for fun
and joining in!
It is still a rural working market town with
regular sheep and cattle auctions and
markets in the Town Hall and Market Square.
For 800 years the Welsh drovers brought
livestock along the Kerry Ridgeway to Bishop’s
Castle. To slake the drovers’ thirst they have been
brewing ale here ever since. In a county renowned for
its brew pubs, Bishop’s Castle is top of the hops.

Church
Stretton
A magnet for walkers
Breathtaking landscapes
T
he market town of Church Stretton nestles amongst some of the most dramatic
and spectacular hills in the British Isles. The ancient, heather-clad Long Mynd
stands above and due to its beauty the town has been a destination for tourists
since Victorian times. At the foot of the Long Mynd lies Carding Mill Valley with
its meandering rocky stream and wide grassy banks, which delight children generation
after generation. The Carding Mill was built in 1812 to comb wool fibres from fleeces
ready for spinning. Today The National Trust manages the area and provides
a café, shop and information centre.
The centre of the town is directly accessible from the railway
station and from here it is an easy walk to a vast expanse of
undulating landscape inhabited by wild horses, buzzards,
skylarks and sheep. At weekends and bank holidays in
the summer it’s possible to catch The Shropshire Hills
Shuttle Bus from the town allowing visitors to explore
without having to drive.
The town has plenty of accommodation and a wide
choice of cafés, restaurants and hostelries. There
are several regular markets held in the Square and
numerous interesting independent shops from
an award winning deli to traditional hardware
shop, a specialist walkers’ shop to a three-storey
antiques emporium.
Close by are the neighbouring settlements of
All Stretton and Little Stretton, each with their own
charm and cosy pubs.
Church Stretton offers a great base for exploring
further afield as well as access to outdoor activities
such as gliding, paragliding, riding, golf, archery and
fishing. Acton Scott Historic Working Farm is 15 minutes
drive and Shrewsbury, Telford and Ludlow are within a
30-45 minute drive.

Cleobury
Mortimer
The perfect place to unwind
A quiet corner of England
S
et in a quiet corner of England, Cleobury Mortimer is tucked away between
the Clee Hills and the Wyre Forest and is a perfect place to unwind.
John Betjeman described its High Street as a “A long airy
curving street of brick Georgian houses and shops
interspersed with genuine half-timber, the Rea Brook
making a splash at the bottom of the hill.” Here,
shops have retained their facades along with a
level of service and local produce that belongs
to a bygone age. This small rural town still
has traditional shops and its own brewery
with 6 local ales.
St Mary’s Church with its late 13th
century twisted wooden spire is one
of three in England. The 19th century
refurbished Market Hall houses the
town’s millennium tapestry and
a Visitor Information Point.
Whether your idea of relaxation is
ambling, walking, cycling or riding,
Cleobury Country offers you some
glorious scenery and wonderful old
buildings. At the Market Hall you can
get guides for outdoor activities and
places to visit. You can fish the Rea in
permitted sections and maybe one day
catch a salmon. Few small towns can boast
a 27-hole golf course and the superb sports
facilities at Lacon Childe School.
Whatever you choose to do you can experience
three of England’s greenest shires from the hidden
gem that is Cleobury Mortimer.

Clun
Surrounded by an amphitheatre of hills
The quietest place under the sun
C
lun gathers you in. Surrounded by an amphitheatre of hills, the
visitor arrives so gently, by gravity alone, at the bridge and the river.
There is no better place to interpret the town. For nearly six hundred
years the town has contented itself with this narrow crossing designed
for the packhorse. One of Housman’s ‘quietest places under the sun’ begins here.
Close by, the wooden bridge beckons, inviting access to the Castle. There has long been
much worth defending here. Iron Age hillforts, Offa’s Dyke and an imposing Norman
castle still remain. Now in ruins it stands as a reminder of past cross-border battles.
St George’s churchyard is another quiet spot, part of the Caring for
God’s Acre project. By the path is the grave of playwright,
the ‘Angry Young Man’, John Osborne who lived nearby.
The interior of the church can rival nature’s palette.
It is ablaze with brightly coloured kneelers.
The annual celebrations begin in May with the
Green Man Festival. Mummers perform in The
Square where there is also a Sunday Market.
Morris Dancers and a Craft Fair also feature
and Frostie, Queen of Cold challenges the
Green Man in the Battle on the Bridge.
In August, the Clun Carnival and Show
incorporates a week-long series of
events and in October, the annual Beer
Festival is a great crowd puller.
People would travel miles to have the
choice of walks that Clun has on its
doorstep. Take Offa’s Dyke path for
example. Many visitors will be more
interested in the archaeology than in
pitting themselves against the elements.
Llanfair Hill is the Dyke’s highest point
and where it is “at its finest and most
inspiring.”
For another fine view, scramble up to Bury
Ditches, near Clunton. When severe storms blew
down many trees, the Forestry Commission got the
message and cleared the whole site, revealing one of
the finest hill forts in Britain.

And of course there are plenty of other outdoor activities – gliding, ballooning, paragliding,
golf, fishing and geocaching. But to get you started here are a few highlights;
Walk the Shropshire landscapes
The Shropshire Way is a circular route of 136 miles and is just being upgraded – take the
challenge and walk it over two weeks. Or take advantage of the excellent train network to

Ludlow
Guest accommodation (including B&Bs, Guest Houses, Inns, Farmhouses
and Restaurants with Rooms) tends to be personally run by the owners.
All the national assessing bodies (VisitBritain, VisitScotland, VisitWales and
the AA) now assess Hotels and Guest Accommodation to the same criteria,
and award one to five stars. The star ratings reflect the overall quality of
the experience.
At the higher levels hotels and guest accommodation owners have
to provide certain additional facilities and services. VisitBritain also
give Gold or Silver awards and the AA give highly commended yellow
stars to guest accommodation and red stars to hotels in recognition of
exceptional quality at all levels. Professional assessors visit every year,
carrying out a routine day visit or an overnight stay.
For serviced accommodation there are two separate schemes; one for hotels
and one for guest accommodation. Hotels have to be licensed, offer dinner at
least five nights a week and have all rooms ensuite or with private facilities.
VisitBritain, VisitWales and VisitScotland also assess self catering
accommodation to the same criteria and award one to five stars. (Some
self catering accommodation may be inspected by a recognised agency).
