Ludlow is fortified by a curve of the River Teme in the border land of the Welsh Marches. Proud residents preserve its heritage with the care of white-gloved curators. In and around its cobbled streets and listed buildings, a reflection of the wealth of Shropshire’s wool, cloth and glove-making trades, are independent shops and restaurants and cafés that favour local produce. Antique stores, delis and countryside views complete its appeal.
The ruins that overlook Ludlow were once home to Arthur, the Prince of Wales and his wife, Catherine of Aragon. Arthur and Catherine took up residence in the castle after their wedding, but Arthur died six months later. Catherine claimed they had never consummated the union, which enabled her match with Arthur’s younger brother, Henry VIII.is a family attraction that hosts events, which this year includes gigs from Bastille and the Kaiser Chiefs.
