Set in a cluster of old stone farm buildings above the Teme near Ludlow, Old Downton Lodge is a restaurant with rooms where the daily-changing tasting menu draws on local producers and the chef’s own foraging. Courtyards and candlelight give it a quiet, out-of-time feel. Walk the wooded Downton Gorge on the doorstep, or seek out the romantic ruins of Wigmore Castle and abbey.
