LUDLOW COTTAGES

Sir John Betjeman once described Ludlow as ‘probably the loveliest town in England' - but there's plenty to do here as well as see; Ludlow has developed a name as one of the foremost food and drinks locations in the UK, with a host of artisan makers, bakers, growers and chefs basing themselves in its cafes, restaurants and kitchens. It's also at the forefront of the Slow Food movement, where quality counts before quantity. Shoppers will love browsing the unusual independent shops, and there are various markets running throughout the month, including a specialist antiques market and a farmers' market.
