Activities
Golf
There are a number of excellent Golf Courses within the area. Ludlow Golf Course is a short distance away, Cleobury Mortimer (about 20 mins away) but for one of life’s great experiences Church Stretton is a must. It sits on top of the Shropshire Hills and has one of the finest views in England. If the legs can take it play another round at Kington, which is the highest 18-hole Golf Course in England. You will sleep well if you play both of those!
Horse Riding
Horse riding around Ludlow & The Shropshire Hills is the most peaceful way to enjoy the least crowded county of England. There is a riding school in Ludlow called North Farm Riding Establishment, it is possible to hire a horse here and ride through the stunning Mortimer Forest.
Cycling
Ludlow and the surrounding south Shropshire countryside is an ideal cycling area. Often referred to as ‘mini Switzerland’, the beautiful hilly countryside includes the Shropshire Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and has many quiet country lanes, forest areas and planned routes to suit cyclists of all abilities.
Fishing
The Teme is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest along its entire length. Its high water quality and its mainly undeveloped banks make the river an excellent habitat for fish.
Ludlow Races
Ludlow Racecourse is a small friendly National Hunt racecourse, often referred to as "Lovely Ludlow" by Radio 5 Live, it is just 2 miles north of Ludlow. An exciting day out for all race fans.
Walking
On and around the estate, there are miles of walking routes, all taking advantage of the incredible views the Shropshire Hills have to offer. This is a mecca for the walker and you will never be disappointed. For further walking Ludlow is at the start of the Mortimer Trail, a long-distance path to Kington on the Herefordshire/Wales border.
