Recently we have been exploring some of the Medieval and Tudor towns in the county of Shropshire, Our first stop was Ludlow, where we visited last year.
A small market town perched on a hill with a Castle at its heart.
The castle was built in the 11th Century , although the giant Easter eggs in the wheelbarrow are somewhat more recent.
Originally a walled town , there are nearly 500 listed building including examples from the Medieval and Tudor times.
The Feathers hotel, built in 1619 has now grown to be Ludlows largest hotel, taking in the buildings on either side.
Late 19th century grade 2 listed, amazing detail and next door but one to a 17th century building.
Just about any road you walk down has beautiful examples.
A slightly different design element is the original vintage doorway mosaics in the some of the shops
This was our second visit to Ludlow and we will be going back, also if you fancy coffee and cake then I recommend visiting Icon Coffee in St Laurence church.

How charming! There was a time when it was popular to build fake Tudor houses here and I always thought they were hilarious. Stuck in between a bunch of Cape Cods or Ramblers, they look like they are trying a bit too hard.
