LUDLOW IN SHROPSHIRE


Ludlow is the gastronomic capital of Shropshire.

Ludlow was described by John Betjeman as "the loveliest town in England" and by Country Life as "the most vibrant small town in the Country". Ludlow also has more Michellin Starred restaurants than any other town in the country. 

Ludlow has a lively market, food fairs, speciality food shops and more restaurants and Inns than you can shake a cocktail stick at.

With over 500 listed buildings, mainly Georgian or half-timbered, Ludlow is a feast for the eyes.


IRONBRIDGE IN SHROPSHIRE


It was at Ironbridge, Shropshire that first large scale production of cast iron was developed using a process pioneered by Abraham Darby. Items made in Ironbridge were shipped all over the world.

Here in 1779 the worlds first cast iron bridge was built spanning the River Severn - beautifully constructed, totally innovative - today the Ironbridge stands as a permanent reminder of our industrial past.

Ironbridge is regarded as the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site - sitting alongside The Taj Mahal, The Pyramids and The Grand Canyon - pretty important sites.


CLEOBURY MORTIMER IN SHROPSHIRE


Cleobury Mortimer is set on the flanks of the Clee Hills - Titterstone Clee and Brown Clee which has the highest summit south of the Pennines. Surrounded by panoramic views and wonderful walks.

Cleobury Church has a crooked spire and walls that lean at an alarming angle. The main street curves gently down to the River Rea. The town is remarkable for the number of its pubs. Even the Street names are reminders of vanished inns.

A quiet, relaxed and traditional town. Look out for the excellent cakes and pork pies and organic foods.
