Welcome to Ludlow and the Shropshire Hills

Ludlow and the Shropshire Hills are special. It's not just the stunning scenery which will captivate you, but the people and places, its history and heritage, the wealth of wildlife and fine food.

The Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) is believed to have the greatest variety of rock types of any comparable sized area in the UK. But you don't have to be an expert, just stand on any of the hilltops and admire the view - the rocky Stiperstones, the plateau of the Long Mynd, the craggy volcanic Stretton Hills and Wrekin, the harsh quarried landscape of the Clee Hills, the long wooded scarp of Wenlock Edge and the rolling enclosed hills of the Clun Forest all have their own distinctive beauty.

To understand how and who has shaped this landscape visit the excellent exhibition at the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre in Craven Arms.
