I worked at the Feathers in the mid 1950's for almost 6 months. I was told it was one of the remaining Inns that Henry VIII had sanctioned. That an Inn could not turn away anyone, they had to give the at least bread and water. It sounds very different now. I remember a small town with weekly cattle auctions downtown, 42 pubs and during the second World War surrounded on one side by an American camp and on the other a German prisoner of war camp. I hope the inside is still incredible with carved ceiling in the dining room. There was a lady who did nothing but cleaned all the brass and copper, it took her all week, and then she started again, next week. The people came from all over the UK, Europe and USA. THE Christmas Holidays were fantastic.

Love Ludlow. Have stayed there over 30 times. One of my favourite places in the UK.

Ludlow stunning bet some of those buildings could tell a tale, Thankyou 👍

This video introduced me to Ludlow. Thank you. Have watched it many times this past year and will be visiting Ludlow from Texas in September

My late parents lived in Ludlow in the early 1980's and had a business in the Buttercross doing clock, watch and scientific instrument repairs. The Church Inn was my local when I visited. A great pub way back then!

Got a picture taken with my dog on the castle ramparts about 35 years ago. Lovely place.

I made a comment about the houses in Chester and you said "Just wait til you see Ludlow." You were right. Truly amazing. Love those blue plaques. There are more here than any English town I've been in. I remember seeing quite a few in Ripon, but not this many. They really tell the story, and in a historic town, that's what people want to see. I noticed in that cheese shop there was a Yorkshire cheese from Thirsk - the home of James Herriot. Loved the Feathers! Thanks for a great walk. Oh- I don't know what the sport car at the end was - maybe a McLaren?

Ludlow is lovely for a day out, besides it’s historical features it also has some very nice shops and cafes. It’s also been used for TV programmes.

Wow, I'dve never thought of ever visiting here. I think this definitely warrants a Christmas visit in future!

Love Ludlow visited last year it is a step back in time. Hope to return!

What a beautiful town love all the old buildings another one on my list to visit can't wait to look around the castle thanks Neil

The castle is interesting with a great history but is pretty derelict. For a more intimate experience in the same area try Stokesay Castle (a fortified mansion house) outside the enticingly named town of Craven Arms just up the road from Ludlow. 😊

We have similar thinking John! I intensely dislike it when some arty type decides to drown out the natural sounds with Muzak! If the general audience thinks that it would sound better with an overlay of Mozart or Megadeath they can add it via headphones. Those who beg to differ have no recourse when some Wally has already blighted it! 😱🙄

We spent new year in Ludlow, and seen in 2023 in the Church. It was raining, so no fireworks. The nearby bells rang instead. I was thinking about going round the Castle, but didn’t fancy paying the entrance fee. On New Year’s Day, we did a ramble round the surrounding countryside

You need too do a walk of Tewkesbury , some really interesting historic things there .

Fascinating tour of this stunningly beautiful, historical place! I watched in anticipation of a visit here this weekend an I am now even more excited! I am from Worcestershire and would recommend a trip to Worcester. There's the cathedral, the River Severn and crammed full of stunning architecture and quirky side streets. Also loved your Whitby videos, they really gave us a great insight before we went on holiday there over the summer. Such a great channel!

Thank you for all you're great walking video's. You bring these places to our living rooms/tablets , making you feel like you're actually there! . I stayed in Ludlow only a couple of years ago , what an amazing place it is , steeped in history. The feather's hotel is very haunted! And I stayed in the Church in, in which you also showed !!

Mr Gimbal you surely struck gold with Ludlow! I'm a sucker for those white and black beamed houses -every time! What a lovely place!

When I saw the "Ludlow" video on your list I am ashamed to say I had not heard of it, nor did I know where it was 😏 I thought 'oh, he was in Scotland recently so it must be up there' - how wrong I was !! And what an incredible town, I just loved it !! If I manage to get out and about this Spring/Summer I shall defo go there for a day or so, it's just fabulous, and I loved all the coaching inns, but had to laugh when I saw "Old Street" cos I thought "well, they are ALL old" 😁😏🤔😀 Many thanks for the trip Mr Walk, keep em coming 💟😍✔

Morris Minor, and a beauty!

Another one of my haunts 🤣 love Ludlow it’s a quaint little town I took my driving test there years ago as it was and still is one way 🤣 till the next one 😊

Nice to have these videos to bring back memories of a week spent there during a summer vacation in Europe many years ago. I was hoping to see the descendants of the squirrels from back then still eating the flowers off of the graves behind the church. 😉

Really fab , enjoyed alot . But you didn't show us the local parish church i just saw the steeple , so thats an excuse for the hubby to take me ,, 😉👍 loving your videos thanks alot

I visit here quite often it’s a lovely town, just the down side it’s out of the way xx but it’s quiet x

There was a road in old Delhi called Ludlow castle road. The import of such name indicates an high official during colonial time must have posted there. Very interesting historical town, a must see place.

Is there a river nearby. Greatly enjoyed this. Thank you. Connie. Brighton. Sussex 😊

If you ever see “half-timbered” architecture, it’s not Scotland, as they do not have any there. This is an English town like the other person mentioned.

The sports car was a Noble M600.

My own town, interesting to watch; it should be remarked that the camera distorts distances, making streets and other spaces seem much wider than they actually are. A good tour though.

just a few words......you can have lunch at the feathers upstairs..and as you walk the floorboards creak.......im so sorry you did not continue down broad st...because you come to an arch.which in fact is a town gate..just like beverley.....has.....advice try leominster which is in same area.....

A few years back a lot of wealthy people from London and the south of England started moving in, Michelin star restaurants started popping up 6 to be precise in this one small town, the problem for them there's no motorways in South Shropshire and Ludlow isn't on rout to anywhere, Ludlow was voted the quietest town in England, the influx of the rich slowed right down and property prices got back to normal, the small cottages in the side streets aren't overpriced.

We live in Ludlow… and it is following the steps of some Cornish villages. Unless Ludlow changes and adapts to bring in younger people, better shops it is doomed. The shops are so overpriced, the gin overrated and overpriced … There is nothing really for the children to do and it’s a shame. It has the castle but it’s not Arundel, it has a great river but does not promote water sports. The forest is great but where is the bike hire? Ludlow needs an infusion of new blood , new modern shops and councillors with vision.. there was a lot of negative feedback from this years food festival and rightly so…. Fingers crossed we can save Ludlow from the past

I live there too, I think that one has to recognize that this is a town that has a highe percentage of retired people, and appeals (quite well) to a certain kind of visitor, without coming over as being at all touristy. I don't think that the shpos are more overpriced than in comparable places. It is neat and well-kept without many of the ugly shop-fronts that one can find in other towns in the area. I can't see it as being 'doomed', I think it will continue in the same way, as a pleasnt place to live in with many relatively prosperous retirees; it is not the kind of place that will ever have a much higher percentage of children being reared there (although I would like that). There is only a short stretch of fairly level river, it would not be practical to have water sports ther other than the occasional canoe. Its attraction lies in it being an attractive place to walk along, with the wooded common behind.
