Ludlow Castle, Medieval castle and house museum in Ludlow, England.
The stone fortress stands on a high promontory above the River Teme, featuring Norman architecture with inner and outer bailey sections.
The castle, established around 1085 by Walter de Lacy, served as a strategic stronghold for controlling the Welsh Borders during medieval times.
The castle grounds hosted the first performance of John Milton's masque Comus in 1634, marking its role in English theatrical history.
Visitors can access the castle daily from 10:00 AM, with guided tours available that explain the medieval architectural features and royal connections.
The structure housed the Council of Wales and the Marches, functioning as the administrative capital of Wales from the 15th to 17th centuries.
