[00:01.54]As well as seeing these sights,
[00:03.30]there are plenty of others to visit in the area
[00:05.60]such as the historic towns of Cleobury Mortimer
[00:08.53]and Bishop's Castle.If you like castles,
[00:11.41]it's a good idea to visit picturesque Stokesay
[00:13.71]Castle or the ruins of Wigmore Castle,
[00:16.64]the seat of the powerful Mortimer family.
[00:19.02]They are amongst the scores of castles
[00:21.26]in the area.
[00:23.08]There are also plenty of things to do for those
[00:25.58]who like the outdoors.
[00:27.53]Go canoeing on the River Teme
[00:29.41]or hang-gliding from Clee Hill.
[00:31.69]South Shropshire is also a walkers' paradise,
[00:34.64]with Mortimer's Trail that goes
[00:36.20]from Ludlow through Mortimer's Forest
[00:38.27]to the Welsh border.If you have children,
[00:40.90]drop in to The Secret Hills Discovery Centre
[00:43.39]in Craven Arms
[00:44.82]where they can learn all about the area
[00:46.93]and enjoy themselves at the same time.
[00:49.60]There are plenty of good hotels
[00:51.47]and restaurants in Ludlow
[00:53.07]and their food has an excellent reputation.
[00:55.95]Three restaurants hold the famous Michelin star
[00:58.65]which is really quite surprising
[01:00.28]when you think that there are only several
[01:02.42]of them in the whole country.
[01:04.05]In addition, Ludlow is only 150 miles
[01:07.15]from London,
[01:08.36]which makes it a great place for a weekend.
