Castles in Shropshire

Ludlow Castle    Begun in 1085 by Roger de Montgomery, Earl of Shrewsbury. Largely ruins now, but steeped in history. The "Princes in the Tower" were kept here before they were removed to the Tower of London, and it was here that Prince Arthur died, leaving the throne to his younger brother Henry VIII.
