This lovely medieval town has to be entered through fortified gateways and is surrounded by beautiful countryside.
Lost in the past. Stories of people and places.

I lived here for five years so it is nice to visit again. I spent many moments sitting on that bench admiring the view of the town. I see you found the church and the Feathers Hotel, but I don't recognise the last photo.
ReplyDeleteThe last photo is a new garden behind the church made for the community instead of being built on. I loved the church, see my post on the misericords below.
DeleteWe stayed in a nearby farmhouse many years ago, Liz, and I have fond memories of visiting Ludlow. We bought a lovely lilac hibiscus on the market and we still have it. It doesn't flower for us any more but it was a beauty. :) :) Many thanks, darlin!
ReplyDeleteIt was my second visit to Ludlow. My friend lives right in the centre which is lovely apart from parking!
DeleteIt looks a lovely town. I have no knowledge of that part of the country so it's good to be allowed a virtual visit!
ReplyDeleteLudlow is an interesting place to visit. I like the castle. Some of the pubs are quite fun.
ReplyDeleteWe visited the castle on our previous visit so sadly no photos from there this time.
ReplyDeleteI've never been there but Ludlow looks like an interesting place. A while ago I bought a batch of scenic postcards via the internet, one was a picture of the Feathers Hotel which I sent via Postcrossing to a random recipient in America who turned out to have originated from Ludlow! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely coincidence. I must participate in postcrossing!
ReplyDeleteI discovered Postcrossing ten months ago via someone who reads my blog, it's a great hobby and can be as cheap or expensive as you want to make it. Some people send out dozens of cards very week, I limit myself to two per week as I don't have the time to write loads. I like how names and addresses are drawn at random so I never know who I'll be sending to until I actually get an address, and I love the surprise of never knowing who or where I'll get my next card from until I receive it. It's certainly a bit different to getting bills or junk mail through the letter box :)
DeleteAs I collect postcards that sounds perfect so I've just registered.
