Ludford is a small village and civil parish in Shropshire, England, sitting on the east bank of the River Teme just downstream from the market town of Ludlow. Its lanes and timber-framed houses, together with riverside walks and a defined conservation area, give it a distinctly rural, picturesque feel; the local economy is a mix of agriculture, small enterprises and visitor-focused services, with many residents using nearby Ludlow for shopping and work.
The parish has a long history centred on the bridge and farming community, but it is best known to geologists for the nearby exposures at Ludford Corner, a Site of Special Scientific Interest that helped define the Silurian "Ludlow" series and the Ludfordian stage because of its rich fossil beds. Socially the village retains an active community life linked into the cultural amenities of Ludlow, which keeps a quiet, village‑scale character while drawing visitors for its landscape and heritage.
