I've seen old timber-framed buildings in many places in England and Wales but I've never seen one anywhere as ornate as The Feathers Hotel, Ludlow. Every piece of wood on the double-jettied facade is embellished in one way or another. Standing in front of the building it is impossible to stop your eye wandering across its facade in search of each carved delight. The frontage was added to an existing building in 1619. The hotel gets its name from the crest of the Prince of Wales.
