2Ludlow, Shropshire
Often described as England’s best foodie town, Ludlow is a medieval market town that combines history with gastronomy. Its 11th-century castle looms over the town center, and the streets are filled with half-timbered houses, independent shops, and vibrant markets. Ludlow is especially known for its food festivals, Michelin-starred restaurants, and artisan producers. Surrounded by the Shropshire Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it also serves as a gateway to some of England’s most underrated walking trails.
