Ludlow



We're definately glad we found this place. Once again it had some great pubs and old tudor style homes but this place also had a great castle ruin. Although Ludlow Castle is now just a ruin it was great wandering around checking out the different rooms, climbing the remaining towers and getting some spectacular views of Ludlow itself. It was also good value and not over commercialised like some of the other castles.

Not feeling like another pub meal we decided to try the local Indian place and it was fantastic. We have certainly eaten well over here! Our accommodation here was also excellent. We camped at a farmstay which had magnificent views overlooking the castle and village of Ludlow. We woke to these views on a beautiful sunny morning (everyone else seems to be complaining about the rain, but the sun just seems to be following us) and everything was going well until Geoff in his haste got the car stuck on a grassy bank. We had no hope of either going forwards or backwards and had no choice but to enlist the help of some of the other campers to get us out of this pickle. We all got a good laugh out of it eventhough we had to put up with the taunts of 'you mad Aussies' - and that was before we even told them about the bog snorkelling!

Our Saviours!
