A Day in Ludlow, Shropshire, Ludlow, England
There are lots of interesting places to visit near my daughter鈥檚 home in Worcestershire, but with the weather rather changeable and the possibility of rain, we decided to visit the town of Ludlow where if the weather turned bad, we could at least easily seek shelter.
