Having known A E Housman's cycle of poems "A Shropshire Lad" since I was at school (in the 1960s) I had long wanted to visit the Clee Hills - and see those "blue remembered hills" for myself. I was not disappointed - a fantastic view.

I was delighted to come across this market which excelled in a wide range of innovative food. I particularly liked a stall with a range of savoury croissants (camonbert and cranberries)and a tempting range of bread; bread layered with lasagne sauces ,.bread with onion and tomato fillings....mushrooms etc. Another stall had an amazing range of vegetarian..corn and spring onion cakes,sausages made with halloumi cheese and sun-dried tomatoes...vegetable pancakes made from courgette, potatoes, onions, apples and cheese. Another stall had a tempting range of homemade cakes.

Regularly go to monkey mania as my little one loves it, and I have to say I find it much better then ‘Quackers & Mickey Millers’ for one the cost of entry isn’t expensive as you only pay for the child, the food is amazing and I highly recommend the sandwiches ~ 10/10! Depending on the age of the child is how much they will do, as I have a 2 year old who loves the toddler area & the main slides, but I can see why people say there children get ‘bored’ as there are bigger places - BUT you won’t get it for the same price as here!

The extensive Mortimer Forest to the west of Ludlow is a great place to go for a hike, whether as a family, with friends or as a couple. There are car-parks and trails and the autumn colours make the area one of my favourite to visit at this time of year. There are fungi in the damp ground and you also come across eroded patches of rock which can be good for fossils; it's worth picking up a local fossil book from one pf the shops in Ludlow so you know what you are looking for and finding; a really great place for some simple exercise and to enhance your child's nature education.
