Ludlow is a town in Shropshire, situated almost on the border between England and Wales. It is also very close to the border between Shropshire and Herefordshire, and in the Domesday Book was included in Herefordshire.
As a result of this location, it became important in medieval times and its large castle remains largely intact. Ludlow Castle was the seat of the Council of Wales and the Marches and a temporary home to several holders of the title, Prince of Wales, notably Arthur Tudor, who died there in 1502.
Ludlow contains some fine examples of black and white timbered buildings including the Feathers Hotel (Pictured).
