Excerpt from Ludlow Stokesay Line between the two counties I have named. But it is only for a mile or two here and there that it has been actually used as such. It is the case at Ludlow, the little loop of country immediately to the south of Ludford Bridge being part of the county of Hereford. In any survey of Ludlow, therefore, both these counties are prominently before the mind, so that although the town is territorially within the county of Salop, it is better to regard it merely as a town of the marches than as an appanage of any narrower territory. This is more particularly the case since so much of the history and interest of the place centres in the drama of this Welsh borderland as a whole. The story of it is indeed of the profoundest interest, and, before proceeding to our glimpse of Ludlow as a locality, I want to glance at this wider aspect of the scenery.
