According to a feature in the Guardian on the ten best shopping cities in Europe (November 18), Ledbury is in the top ten.
The market town is listed at number 6, above Glasgow, Vienna, Naples and Amsterdam.
Here's what The Guardian had to say -
"Why go?
There may be more obvious places for a festive UK shopping spree β Bath, with its Georgian backdrop and artisan quarter; Brighton for its fun vibe; Manchester and London for the sheer choice β but little Ledbury in Herefordshire is a picturesque, stress-free option. With its stilted 17th-century Market House, timber-framed buildings, great independent shops and arty vibe, the market town has bags of atmosphere. Plus itβs in a particularly lovely part of the country, should a winter walk beckon."
