As well as seeing these sights, there are plenty of others to visit in the area such as the historic towns of Cleobury Mortimer and Bishop's Castle.If you like castles, it's a good idea to visit picturesque Stokesay Castle or the ruins of Wigmore Castle, the seat of the powerful Mortimer family. They are amongst the scores of castles in the area. There are also plenty of things to do for those who like the outdoors. Go canoeing on the River Teme or hang-gliding from Clee Hill. South Shropshire is also a walkers' paradise, with Mortimer's Trail that goes from Ludlow through Mortimer's Forest to the Welsh border.If you have children, drop in to The Secret Hills Discovery Centre in Craven Arms where they can learn all about the area and enjoy themselves at the same time. There are plenty of good hotels and restaurants in Ludlow and their food has an excellent reputation. Three restaurants hold the famous Michelin star which is really quite surprising when you think that there are only several of them in the whole country. In addition, Ludlow is only 150 miles from London, which makes it a great place for a weekend.
