    Hi soupy,

    Just been laughing at your review of the Catherine O'Donovan . I know exactly what you mean. I have tried to go in there 3 times now and each time it has been shut !! I have no idea of the opening hours - if there are any !!
    The most annoying thing is that it is the only pub in the area I haven't been in !!
    I will not give up.

    Cheers,

    Del.

    Somehow I popped in Catherine O'Donovan in 2001 or 2002 with no problem

    Looks like my luck is on my side

    I have managed it twice - once sat outside in its small beer patio, drinking Banks's MILD, i think - it was a bog standard place - like Town Crier, but better than the now defunct Queens. The second time, it was selling cans of C*****g and Woodpecker Cider, as though it was about to close - i think i walked out, i cant remember!

    Why bother with it, apart from going to rate it - the Lamp is the best in that little area

    I tend to bypass Ludlow and head up the Clun Valley loads of cracking little pubs and glourious scenery .
    It's been years since i went into the Ludlow pubs - may have to give it another go. Thinking of Leominster as well, but that is more Mr A's territory

    It really does surprise me that Ludlow has so few reviews and photographs.During the summer this is one of the prettiest tourist traps around . It is renowned for good places to eat, specialized food shops , and good pubs. Some are impressive places on the main streets, others can be found in quaint little side streets.
    Ludlow is situated on the Hereford > Shrewsbury rail line and country buses connect with local towns and villages. Reasonable priced accommodation if you ring around.
    The area is well worth a visit but a map ,guide book and teetotal driver are essential. The beers are plenty and varied it would be a shame to miss them.
    I fell in love with Shropshire when 12 years of age and it has never waned so you may think I am biased .
