Great weather meant a lovely walk to Ludlow this morning across the fields and woods.

In 1066 the French led by William the Conqueror invaded England. To control the new territory the French built a network of castles  including Ludlow Castle in 1086.

Here we all are taking in the view at the top of the tower.
