How to find us

My family discovered this museum during a weekend stay at Ludlow and we were all very impressed with the varied and skilfully presented collection of artefacts spanning antiquity to the early 20th century, all of which are tastefully staged under sympathetic lighting with concise descriptions and tasteful graphics.”

Delightful little museum housed in a beautiful building with a stunning view. Thoughtful exhibits tell just a tiny slice of Ludlow's history. Adults and children alike can happily while away some time here. Don't miss it.”

I had a bit of time to kill, so I ventured into this quaint little museum!
£1 entry fee was a bargain, and the member of staff I got talking to was very knowledgeable. Some interesting artefacts on display, so well worth popping in for a hour”
