Visit Ludlow Castle, one of the finest medieval ruins in Britain.

The castle has been in existence since 1086 and was an important administrative centre for the Marches and Wales. Find out how the castle evolved, and the royalty who lived and visited the castle. 

Visit an exhibition on the 500 year-old heraldic roll (including a facsimile copy) and spend time browsing in our Gift Shop. Shopping continues at the independent Castle Gallery, and excellent food is available at Chapter 66 cafe-restaurant. 

Please take note of the following points:

⏰ Last entry to the castle is 45 minutes before closing time.

🎫 Tickets are valid all day - re-entry is allowed until 45 minutes before closing time.

🏰 The castle is a ruin, with little shelter in inclement weather so please come prepared with sensible footwear and suitable clothing. See the website for more Access Information

❗We reserve the right to close part of the castle (for example, the towers) for your safety - no refund will be given in this case as the majority of the castle will still be open

🏰 If the whole castle has to be closed due to bad weather, a voucher will be issued for you to visit another day.

Please note we do not accept American Express cards for payment.

Thank you for your understanding
