A lovely pub with friendly staff, a good selection of beer and locally distilled Gin. The weather was very kind when we were there so we were able to sit in the beer garden which was lovely, spacious and comfortable.

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 Mousetrap

Reviewed By idopam

This is a great little shop with a wonderful selection of cheeses. We particularly wanted to buy local cheeses and the lovely lady was very helpful. There are chutneys and pickles for sale too which are delicious. We couldn’t resist going back and buying a hand crafted oak cheese board there too, which we’re very happy with.

Ludlow Museum

Reviewed By freddiedoncaster

I had a bit of time to kill, so I ventured into this quaint little museum! £1 entry fee was a bargain, and the member of staff I got talking to was very knowledgeable. Some interesting artefacts on display, so well worth popping in for a hour.
