Its rich history, gorgeous buildings and traditional-style pubs are now boosted by quirky shops, swanky cafĂ©s, trendy restaurants and more. So, want to know whatâs really worth your time?

16 things to do in Ludlow
Nestled in the Shropshire Hills, the historic market town of Ludlow seems to have it all within its cosy reaches: a huge ruined castle, hundreds of listed buildings, cobbled streets and world-class restaurants. It's also the ideal base for country strolls that end in pints of ale in snug, old pubs or - alternately - newly established breweries. Switching off is guaranteed, as Ludlowâs streets are rarely crowded. That is, unless you visit (along with 20,000 others) for its annual food festival. RECOMMENDED: Discover Cheltenham, Cardiff and Snowdonia.Â

Things you only know if youâre a midwife
âŠaccording to Memuna Sowe. Cultural beliefs shape each and every pregnancy âWorking in south London, Iâm exposed to many different cultures and some interesting beliefs. Certain women wonât use water after giving birth as they believe itâs bad luck, and other cultures believe a woman canât leave the house for 41 days following birth. I educate every new mother about infection, but also make sure to respect their way of life.â Being pregnant is rough when youâre homeless âI am the lead midwife in Homeless Health in Croydon, and I often see women very late in their pregnancy. I need to make sure they trust me in a very short space of time. Some homeless women wonât disclose that they are pregnant until their bump shows, and if theyâre asylum seekers, theyâre sometimes put off from getting pregnancy care due to fear of the authorities. Iâll often see them in the street and urge them to come to appointments the next day, or give them my contact details in case they get moved to another area.â Dire circumstances donât always stop people being kind âWhen I was pregnant, many of the homeless women I worked with spent their appointments asking about me and my baby. I was like: itâs my job to check up on you! Those little things make my job worth it.â Midwifery gives you perspective on life âI moan so much less now than before I became a midwife. And when my kids complain about little things, I do get frustrated. If they donât want to eat their food, I tell them about the homeless pre
