The centuries-old Shear Cottage is a delightful base for visitors to this heritage-rich area. The cottage lies on farmland less than 10 miles from Ludlow and offers unbeatable access to the surrounding countryside and the wildlife that inhabits it. Entertainment in Ludlow spans from watching horseracing at the local racecourse to antique shopping, golf and swimming. Visitors who come in the summer months of June and July can catch the local arts festival, an annual highlight.
