GUIDED town tours of Ludlow have restarted, with walk-up tours on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays through to the end of October.

The tours kick off from Ludlow Castle, leaving the cannon outside the castle at 2pm. Ludlow's 16 town guides also offer walk-up tours every day from July to the end of September. The tours cost £5 per person with children going free.

Private tours can also be booked through Roger Furniss 01584 874205 or furniss@phonecoop.coop at any time. Groups are catered for, with previous tours going to organisations such as Solihull WI, while the Malcolm Saville Society, the Classic Car Club and Broseley Historical Society are among the many groups who have already booked.

Last year, the team provided tours for over 1000 people and in preparation they are all visiting Evesham this week to help prepare for the new season.

New guides are always welcome and should contact Roger Furniss as above.
