Local motor club for Ludlow and the surrounding area's. Classic Tour 2026 - https://www.ludlowcastlemotorclub.co.uk/classic-tour-2024

Ludlow Castle Motor Club was formed on Friday 28th April 1950 mainly as a club supporting motor cycle events…..not many people had cars in those days! A change of direction took place in 1965 when the club withdrew from the Auto-Cycle Union and joined the RAC to concentrate on motor car oriented events. Over recent years the main emphasis of the club has been towards stage rallying and it boasts many successful members including Mark Perrott, National Champion, Richard Gough, five times winner of the Famous Woodpecker Stages ,

In previous years club members were very active ( and successful ) on the Road Rallying front and organised one of the most popular events, the Peak Revs Road Rally. There is now a revival in this aspect of Motor Sport with a number of members competing on Road Rallies. Apart from organising club events such as Autotests and Scatters LCMC have for the past seven years jointly promoted the National “A” Kerridge / Mutiny Rally which raised the profile of the club tremendously. Whether you are a competitor, wish to help marshal on / organise events or just want to have a great social life come and join the friendly club which meets at Ludlow Brewery, on the second Wednesday of each month at 8.00pm. Please contact the club at [email protected].

The 9th running of the Ludlow and the Marches Classic Tour took place on Sunday 11th October 2026, organised by the Ludlow Castle Motor Club. Part of the popular HRCR Scenic Tours Series, this year's non-competitive event brought together a spectacular collection of historic and classic cars to explore the beautiful country lanes spanning the English and Welsh borders.

The tour got underway from its traditional starting point at the Ludlow Brewery, sending crews out on a scenic route mapped across Ordnance Survey Landranger Map 137 and a brief excursion into Map 138.

Embracing its geographic "Marches" theme, the route crossed the England–Montgomeryshire/Wales border four times. Drivers and navigators were treated to stunning vistas and quiet country roads framed by historic landmarks.

We were incredibly lucky on the day with the weather, enjoying clear conditions that perfectly showcased the autumn colours across Shropshire and Wales. The excellent weather made the driving experience all the more memorable for the crews navigating the winding lanes.

An event of this scale relies on an immense amount of planning and goodwill. Thank you to all those who took part on the tour and brought such a fantastic variety of classic machinery to the start line.

Most importantly, these events simply could not run without our dedicated team. A huge thank you goes out to The Marshals for keeping everyone safe and on track. The Venues & Caterers for hosting us and keeping the crews well-fed.

We look forward to welcoming you all back for the 10th anniversary tour 2028!

Thank you, David & Matt Mills

Congratulations both on an excellent weekend. There is nothing quite like the sight and roar of a classic Ford Es**rt conquering the tight and twisting lanes around the Shropshire Hills.
