Ludford is a small village and civil parish in East Lindsey, Lincolnshire, England, set on the fringes of the Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and just a few miles from the market town of Louth. The landscape around it is typical Wolds country - rolling chalk hills, patchwork arable fields and pockets of woodland - and the course of the River Lud nearby gives the village its historic sense of place, the name suggesting an old ford across the stream.
Traditionally agricultural, Ludford retains a quiet rural character with scattered farmsteads, a small local community and links to nearby markets. Historic features such as a medieval parish church and several listed buildings hint at long settlement, while today the local economy and social life blend farming with countryside tourism: walking, cycling and enjoying the Wolds are common draws for visitors and residents alike.
