A beautiful walk with great views across the river Teme to Ludlow town. Interesting sculptures of fossils for which Ludlow is famous

Nice little walk along the river. Some stunning views of the local market town and Ludlow Castle. Nice little woods for the kids and dog food to play in

A lovely circular walk from Ludlow. Not too hard but I recommend proper walking boots/ shoes. There is a small car parking area at the top if you are not able to do the walk.There are some lovely views of the castle and the church

It's a beatiful walk with dog access. Parking up the top of the hill is very limited (there is a carpark up there but was shut do not know if this is permanent). If you from the town end there's lots of street parking which is pay and display

One of my favourite walks in Ludlow. I normally park beside one bridge and walk along the river to the other. It’s usually peaceful and I often spot birds and other wildlife. Then up the hill for a beautiful the walk back and stunning views over Ludlow and the countryside beyond. Any time of year there is plenty to see.
