Ludlow
Ludlow is a market town in the English county of Shropshire. It lies around 28 miles (45 kilometres) 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 near the confluence of the rivers Corve and Teme. The oldest part is the medieval walled town, established 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 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 towards the River Corve. The town rests in a sheltered area underneath Mortimer Forest and the Clee Hills, which are distinctly noticeable from the town. Ludlow is the home of close to 500 listed buildings. They feature some fine examples of medieval and Tudor-style half-timbered buildings featuring the Feathers Hotel. The town was depicted 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 aesthetics of many antique dealers, together with art dealers and independent bookshops. Bodenhams, a clothing shop, has been trading from a 600-year-old timbered property since 1860 and it is one of the oldest shops in Britain.
