  • Well-maintained site in a peaceful location on a horse-racing course
  • A 10-minute drive from historic Ludlow and the Shropshire Hills
  • Horse-race meetings and rallies organised on occasion
All bets are on for a brilliant time at Ludlow Racecourse, a fab choice for folk fond of having a flutter on the horses. Not that you need to be an equestrian expert to stay here – it’s also a popular place for using as a base to shuffle around these rural Shropshire surrounds. Ludlow, a top town with a regular farmers’ market and your gateway to wanders in the Welsh Marches, is a 10-minute drive away. On a practical level, having Ludlow so close to base is also handy as the town is home to supermarkets, restaurants and a railway station. The cycling’s also excellent around here, so hop into the saddle for rides through the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the edges of which are accessible in about 25 minutes by bike (or 10 minutes by car). Well-behaved dogs are allowed to stay on the grounds here, so you can relax while your fave animal sits by your side at your well-maintained pitch. Please note that Ludlow Racecourse has a clean and tidy toilet block, but guests will need to look elsewhere for shower facilities.

Local attractions

You could start off a trip here by whizzing over to historic hotspots such as Ludlow’s 11th-century castle (10 minutes' drive), set on a cliff above the river Teme. After inspecting the surrounding area from its impressive ramparts, you might like to move on to Stokesay Castle (10 minutes), a historic site with an altogether different vibe as this is a fortified manor house, built by one of medieval England's most powerful wool merchants. Staying in the past, you could explore the agricultural heritage on display at Acton Scott Historic Working Farm (20 minutes), or instead zoom forward a few hundred years to the Industrial Revolution by exploring the Ironbridge Gorge Museum (40 minutes), located in a UNESCO World Heritage Site on the banks of the Severn. If you don't mind roaming slightly further from base, you could visit the famed medieval Mappa Mundi at Hereford Cathedral (40 minutes), let the kids go and say hi to the animals and birds at West Midland Safari Park, take nostalgia-tinged train rides aboard the lovingly preserved Severn Valley Railway in Kidderminster (50 minutes) or head out hiking in the Brecon Beacons National Park (from 45 minutes).
