Central parking near Ludlow Castle and town centre
Ludlow Castle Street Car Park is a council-operated tarmac lot located on Castle Street in the historic market town of Ludlow. The facility provides 150 marked bays, including eight Blue Badge spaces adjacent to the pedestrian exit and four motorcycle bays. It operates 8 am8 pm daily; pay-and-display charges of £1.50 per hour (capped at £6.00 per day) apply via machines accepting coins and contactless payments. LED lamp columns provide full illumination until midnight, and CCTV cameras cover all aisles. Pedestrian exits lead directly to Ludlow Castle entrance (0.1 km), the medieval town center shops (0.05 km), and local cafés. Two 7 kW EV charging points are installed at the northeast corner, billed via QR code. Seasonal medieval festivals can reduce available bays by 30%; temporary signage directs overflow to the Lower Galdeford lot (0.4 km). Maintenance staff repaint bay lines each spring, repair potholes in autumn, and clear litter weekly.
