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.
