The Restoration and Re-use Project Ludlow Castle restoration of Beacon Rooms

The Trustees, once the transfer had been completed, had two possible options regarding the future of Castle House. The first would be to renovate the building and continue to use it as eight (or fewer) residential flats. This would preserve the building but provide no benefit to the Castle visitors, Ludlow town, the district nor would it enable the public to see the interior of the only habitable part of Ludlow Castle.

Scheme objectives to provide:-

 
  • additional space in support of Ludlow’s main festivals
  • retail outlets for local crafts and rural businesses
  • an enhanced “experience” for visitors to Ludlow Castle and the town

Ludlow Castle HallwayThis scheme cost approximately £1m more than restoring Castle House to residential use and was completed in early June 2007.


This exciting and ambitious renovation has allowed the ground floor of Castle House, for the first time in its history, to be accessible to all and adds greatly to the facilities offered in the castle - which was always one of the main reasons for embarking on this project.

 
  • A glass covered courtyard to link Castle House to the main entrance
  • Castle Tea Room with seating in the glazed Courtyard, Pantry, Study and the Garden Terrace
  • Exhibition hall/function room(s)
  • Several retail points for local crafts and produce
