A little up the A49 you will find the golf course which is also home to Ludlow racecourse. The town is by-passed by the A49 which runs to the county town of Shrewsbury to the north and the Cathedral city of Hereford to the south. There is also a railway station in the town that is on the Manchester to Cardiff Line with trains running at regular intervals and also connecting to London and Birmingham from Shrewsbury and Hereford.

There are superb recreational activities in the area, namely Mortimer Forest which straddles the Shropshire and Herefordshire border.
