It is worth a trip to Ludlow - it starts with the funny shop name "expensive mistakes" which…read moredescribes it perfectly. They sell second hand designer clothes from high class brands - normally when you hear second hand, you're not really keen but here a lot of items still have original tags and have just been hanging in a wardrobe. They have quite a choice of clothes even though the shop isn't that big. The service in the shop is fantastic! I highly recommend to go :-)

The Silver Pear is a gift shop that sells a wide range of items, both practical and wonderfully…read moreimpractical. Its stock is arranged over two floors, and it is not the place to enter with a lot of bags, as you might cause (or fear causing) serious damage. The upper floor has some clothing and furniture. I have bought some lovely bright and comfortable Moroccan babouches here at a far more reasonable price than I have seen elsewhere. Downstairs has a good selection of crockery, kitchenware and the like (Alessi type items). The shop has stocked some beautiful and elegant lamps, and other decorative items. There are also a number of gifts; in fact my mousemat came from the Silver Pear (Women over 30 are better because their handbags can sustain life for about a week with no outside support whatsoever - so true.) There are small gift books, cards and wrapping paper. At the back of the shop is a small area with toiletries, mostly ranges that it is difficult to find elsewhere. Finally there is now a selection of gorgeous handbags, including the lovely pleated bags from Lupo. Definitely worth a visit after payday or clutching your birthday money in your hot little paws.

This is a fine independent bookshop situated just off the main square in Ludlow, and just across…read morethe road from the castle. There is on-street parking nearby, but you may need to resort to (and wait for) a space in Ludlow's small town carpark. Whilst not the biggest bookshop in the world, this shop stocks a good range of local work, including some items from small, independent publishers. There is also a selection of non-fiction with a focus on farming and country pursuits, plus a wide selection of detailed maps for walkers. The fiction section includes some surprises, as well as the more expected stock. The rear of the store stocks art materials and stationery, plus cards and wrapping. The knowledgeable staff are always helpful, and you are sure to emerge with a little gem from their carefully-chosen stock.
