April 8: Ludlow

A rather special urban walk around Ludlow with my sister. Ludlow was a planned town, chosen by the Normans for its perfect defensive location overlooking the river Teme. and later served as the administrative capital of the Marches.

Apart from its superb castle and the parish church of St Lawrence, one of the largest in the country, its medieval street pattern survives almost intact. An almost perfect day in the circumstances.
