Ludlow boasts an inordinate number of medieval buildings given its size, and its culture and natural beauty are equally lauded.

Ludlow is a market town in Shropshire, England. The oldest part is the medieval walled town, founded in the late 11th century, centred on a small hill which lies within a bend of the River Teme, on its eastern bank. Atop this hill is the site of Ludlow Castle and the parish church, St Laurence's, the largest in the county. The town is in a sheltered spot beneath Mortimer Forest and the Clee Hills, which are clearly visible from the town. Ludlow has nearly 500 listed buildings. They include some fine examples of medieval and Tudor-style half-timbered buildings including the Feathers Hotel. The town was described by Sir John Betjeman as "probably the loveliest town in England".

Your planning tool is a real help. It made the planning process so easy and provided some savings as well. Everything went as expected and there was really no problem :) Wish u best luck in expanding RoutePerfect in the future. I advised your site to all my friends - it is a must to plan it this way.

My experience with RoutePerfect was better than I expected. The website was intuitive, the staff were extremely helpful and I can't think of a single bad experience with the RoutePerfect service. We had a wonderful trip. The hotels were what we expected them to be, except one which was WAY better than expected. With your site, I was able to plan our honeymoon with ease, without any travel agents. I'm lead to believe that we got the best hotel prices as well and I was happy with what we paid. I managed to save a lot of money for shopping :) Our Italy trip was amazing, and exactly how we imagined.
