4. See the most beautiful street in England Ludlow is a very attractive market town full of charm with over 900 years of architectural history and nearly 500 listed buildings. Broad Street, has been described as the most beautiful street in Britain.. 
5. Forage in Mortimer Forest  This ancient forest with 1000 acres has rich wildlife and a great place to spot spectacular birds of prey. The forest is also host to incredible edibles including porcini and chanterelle mushrooms.  Spend the day with experts to learn about, and enjoy eating, delicious mushrooms, herbs and fruits from the forest.
6.  Cycle Ludlow is home to several bike shops including the largest road bike shop in England, aptly named Epic Bikes. Unsurprisingly, the rolling hills, lack of motorways and scenery are popular with cyclists whether on road, or enjoying challenging trails through the forest.
7. Wild swimming –Down from the castle, next to Millennium Green,   the clear water of the River Teme laps at a small island, perfect for paddling or swimming. Millennium Green is a gentle grassy slope with benches and the odd tree for shade, an ideal picnic spot.
8. Visit an architectural treasure  “The perfect historic town”  - Ludlow town centre is full of architectural beauty with very few modern buildings to interrupt the view of period properties. Ludlow castle is well worth a visit and sits at the edge of the  Market Square in the centre of town. Allow a couple of hours to explore the castle and discover the people that made it famous.
10. Play Poo sticks  Dinham bridge is a picture perfect 3 arch bridge built in 1829. It makes a beautiful scene in the foreground of Ludlow castle and is great for playing Poo sticks. Warning – this can be addictive!
