Ludlow Food Centre

Top choice


More than 80% of the cheeses, meats, breads, fruit and vegetables are sourced from the surrounding region and tantalisingly displayed at this enormous farm shop, including many produced on the estate. Watch through viewing windows to see traditional preserves, pies, ice cream and more being made. It's signposted 2.8 miles northwest of Ludlow off Bromfield Rd (the A49).

Look out for regular events including tastings. There's a kids' playground and a picnic area. Produce is used by the adjoining cafe-restaurant, the Ludlow Kitchen.
