Ludlow Castle’s history dates all the way back to the 11th century and was built on high ground to resist attack by invaders from across the nearby Welsh border.

The castle was abandoned in the late 17th century, and today it stands as an outdoor ruin, no less imposing for its state of partial disrepair. Guests can explore the castle grounds, gatehouse, towers, and rooms for a small entrance fee, and even spend an afternoon browsing its shops, which sell a variety of artistic wares from rugs and photography to art, toys, and antiques.
