HOPE BAGOT

Ludlow 5 miles.

The peaceful hamlet of Hope Bagot quietly nestles on the southern slopes of Titterstone Clee Hill, surrounded by glorious rolling countryside and an exciting variety of birds and wildlife, whilst the nearby village of Knowbury boasts the two nearest pubs that are not touching each other in Britain! The historic market town of Ludlow, situated on the River Teme, is just 5 miles away and boasts nearly 500 listed buildings and original medieval street patterns. Renowned for its shopping, Ludlow offers a number of antique shops, art and craft shops and more Michelin-starred restaurants than anywhere outside of London, as well as numerous tea shops, pubs and inns. The town's regular street markets, held in the shadow of the castle, also showcase a range of goods from cheeses and fresh produce to books and local crafts. The castle itself is over 900 years old and contains fascinating examples of architecture. Within easy reach of Church Stretton, Shrewsbury and Hereford, as well as popular attractions such as the Ironbridge Gorge, the Severn Valley Railway, Berrington Hall and Cardingmill Valley, this superb location has much to offer all year round.
