Situation
The Manor House has the great advantage of being a short distance from the edge of Ludlow and has an outlook towards Clee Hill, yet it is also just a stone's throw from the edge of Mortimer Forest.

The market town of Ludlow has a thriving community with a number of local shops, restaurants and pubs as well as a recently refurbished Assembly rooms which provides cinema and theatre opportunities. The town is host to a number of sports clubs with well supported cricket, football and rugby teams. There is a leisure centre, gym and swimming pool on the north side of the town. A little up the A49 you will find the golf course which is also home to Ludlow racecourse.

The town is by-passed by the A49 which runs to the county town of Shrewsbury to the north and the Cathedral city of Hereford to the south. There is also a railway station in the town that is on the Manchester to Cardiff Line with trains running at regular intervals and also connecting to London and Birmingham from Shrewsbury and Hereford.

The area has a number of schools and colleges providing education in the public and private sector, with Moor Park Prep being just down the road. There are superb recreational activities in the area, namely Mortimer Forest which straddles the Shropshire and Herefordshire border. This thousand hectare forest was originally made up of ancient royal chases and deer parks. There are a series of footpaths and bridleways which give the opportunity for being able to walk or ride for miles without being near to main roads.

Directions: From Ludlow, head South over Ludford Bridge. Continue on this road and take the first right signposted for 'Richards Castle'. Continue on this road for about 3 miles and turn right at the church. Continue up this lane for about half a mile and you will find The Manor House on your right-hand side indicated by its name plaque.
