A brief stop at sainsburys to pick up some food stuffs for the journey and OH!! we can't find reverse!!! So we sat in the car until someone driving the same car parked and we asked them if they could show us. He looked at us like we were from a different planet but still assisted us.
Now we are on our way. So we head for Ludlow as we have some friends from our home town who have purchased a house there.
We arrive in Ludlow and fall in love instantly. Ludlow is steeped in history with a medieval castle, a wealth of Tudor timber framed buildings as well as Georgian & Regency architecture. Lots of narrow lanes, small and interesting shops, markets and courtyards.
We find our friend Di and she takes us to see their three storey Georgian place they are renovating. It is right in the market square and looks awesome.
Di takes us to the pub next to her accom which is the wheatsheaf Inn was built in 1668 and was first licensed as guest house in 1753 and has remained one ever since. It adjoins the towns historic 13th century broad gate. Our room is cosy and warm and we have to duck the broad centuries old beams.
We spent the next day exploring Ludlow, a walk by the river, climbed the 200 steps to the top of the church tower for a fantastic 360 view of Ludlow.
Could have spent so much more time here but as a visitor our time is limited and we made contact with some more escapees from Katoomba so decided to move on.
