Access to Ludlow from the camp site, and other areas to the west of the river Teme, are now back to normal.  The previously closed Ludford bridge over this river has now been repaired and re-opened.
The following directions are aimed at parking you in the Castle Square car park. Charges apply up until 6:00p.m. Please take care whilst driving within Castle Square - it will be busy with orienteers!


From the camp site:
Exit northeastwards from the camp site along Whitcliffe Road until you have to halt at it's junction with the B4361. Here you may have to wait a while for the southern urban orienteering contingent approaching from your right! Turn left and cross Ludford bridge. Normal vehicles, once over the bridge should not swing right, but carry straight on. Proceed under the archway within the town wall. At the top of the road turn left (compulsory) and drive 300 metres into Castle Square. At the "Give Way" sign swing right making a U bend and the car park entrance is on your left between the buildings.  Large mobile homes and those of you still towing a caravan (why?) will not fit through the town wall arch. Once over the Ludford bridge swing right and follow the road all the way round up to the traffic lights. Here, turn left and follow the short narrow road as it winds its way into Castle Square where you follow the brief route described for smaller vehicles.

From the north and northwest:
You will need to pick up the A49 in order to swing off left onto the B4361 (signed) as you approach Ludlow. Follow this past the school, over the bridge, round the bend and up the main street through to a second set of traffic lights. Here turn right into a very narrow street leading into Castle Square. Thereafter as per directions from the camp site.

From the south:
Off the A49 take the B4361 and follow it until you reach Ludford Bridge. Thereafter as per from the camp site.

From the east:
Pick up the A4117 and at the roundabout where it meets the A49, go straight across into Henley Road. Stay on this road for about 500 yards where it starts to bear left. At this point leave Henley Road by bearing right into New Street. Follow this all the way to a mini roundabout. Here turn left under the bridge. This road then bridges over a river after which stop at the at the Give Way sign.  Turn left. You now join the orienteers coming from the north who have passed the school but not gone over the bridge!
