Sunlit landscape scene of Ludlow Castle, viewed from Whitcliffe in Shropshire. A mountainous slope is visible in the left foreground, at the foot of which runs a river from the bottom right corner towards the centre of the composition. At its widest point, the river is crossed by an arched bridge, upon which the figures of a horseman and a pedestrian can be seen. On the right side of the river bank, there is a hamlet of cottages with red chimneys, and further to the right, the mound upon which Ludlow Castle stands and its surrounding walls. A valley, lined with fields and trees recedes into the distance with hills on the horizon. The sky is grey and cloud covered.
