POSTCARDS:  #1 LUDLOW, SHROPSHIRE

Popped into Ludlow today for work.  Never been before.  My bad.  What a gorgeous town. 

Renowned as a foodie centre, the closest I've ever been was to a gastro pub in the nearby village of Brimsdown.  As well as the posh nosh, Ludlow also has a castle - date unknown, but probably founded in the 11th century to keep those pesky Welsh at bay.  There's a church, too, with amazing stained glass windows and a tower you can climb up, as well as plenty of Tudor timber, and some gorgeous Georgian houses.

There are pubs inviting you down narrow medieval alleyways - and just in case you're thinking it's all too twee for words, there's a Costa Coffee, a Boots and a Spar; not to mention a fair few charity shops hinting at the underlying poverty that stalks many rural areas.

Probably hell to live in as a teenager.  Looks like a great place to visit as a grown-up.  I'll be back.

I can totally relate to your experience in Ludlow! It's always such a pleasant surprise when you stumble upon a charming town you've never visited before. Ludlow seems to offer a delightful mix of history, architecture, and a vibrant food scene. The mention of narrow medieval alleyways and inviting pubs paints a picture of a place with so much character. And it's interesting to see the blend of traditional charm with modern conveniences like Costa Coffee and Boots. Your comment about it possibly being challenging for teenagers to live there but a great spot for adults resonates with me – sometimes, small towns like Ludlow offer a different kind of beauty and appeal as we get older. Thanks for sharing your experience; it makes me want to plan a visit to Ludlow soon! 🏰🍴🏡
