The Bull Hotel is a historic inn in Ludlow, at 14 Bull Ring.
The public house is described as "the best surviving medieval inn in Ludlow" and pre-dates the Feathers Hotel opposite.[2] It is a Grade II listed building.[1] Much of the current three-storey building dates to the 16th century, but the painted stucco front date from the 18th century and the roof tiles from the 20th century.[1]
During the Ludlow Festival in the summer, the hotel hosts the Fringe Festival, featuring live jazz music and plays in the courtyard of the hotel.[3]
On the opposite side of the street is the Feathers Hotel and the two hostelries partake in a tug-of-war competition every Boxing Day across the street itself.[4]
