Ludlow
Ludlow is a market town in the English county of Shropshire. It is set about 28 miles (45 km) south of Shrewsbury and 23 miles (37 kilometres) north of Hereford using the main A49 road, which bypasses the town. In accordance with the 2011 Census, the town has a permanent population of around 10266 people. This makes Ludlow the largest town in south Shropshire. The town is meaningful in the history of the Welsh Marches and neighbouring Wales. The town is close to the convergence of the rivers Corve and Teme. The oldest part is the middle ages walled town, founded in the late 11th century after the Norman conquest of England. It is centred around a little hill which rests on the eastern shore of a bend of the River Teme. On top of this hill is Ludlow Castle and the parish church, St Laurence's, the largest in the county. From there, the streets drop downward to the River Teme, and northward toward the River Corve. The town rests in a sheltered spot below Mortimer Forest and the Clee Hills, which are clearly noticeable from the town. Ludlow is home to about 500 listed structures. They consist of some outstanding examples of medieval and Tudor-style half-timbered buildings including the Feathers Hotel. The town was described by Sir John Betjeman as 'probably the loveliest town in England'. By the late 20th century, the town had actually seen a progression in tourism, leading to the look of many antique dealers, in addition to art dealerships and independent bookshops. Bodenhams, a clothing shop, has been trading from a 600-year-old timbered property since 1860 and it is among the oldest stores in Britain. For all your home remodelings, make sure to find reputable professionals in Ludlow to make certain of quality.
