About Ludlow Castle
Owned by the Earl of Powis Estates since the early 19th century, Ludlow Castle was bought to prevent its destruction. In the Middle Ages, this historic building stood as a stronghold for control of the Welsh Borders. As well as being the seat of the English government!

Kids will love pretending to be brave knights on the lookout, while parents enjoy the stunning scenery. Don’t forget your camera - this is one family photo spot you won’t want to miss!
Ludlow Castle is bursting with fascinating stories! Walk through the grand Great Hall, discover the ruins of the royal apartments, and stand where kings and queens once ruled.
With plenty of space to run, explore, and imagine, it’s the perfect place for young adventurers to bring history to life!
Treat yourself with a trip to an independent art and jewellery shops. Or head to the tea rooms for a traditional English tea!
Extend you visit by sleeping over in their 5* self-catering apartments for 3,4, and 7-night stays, plus function rooms for hire.
