Luston Looking towards Leominster. The bus stop is on the Ludlow to Hereford service, which operated as the glacially slow Birmingham to Hereford bus at one time. With Orleton, Richard's Castle and Luston, this road was favoured by the bus companies over the less populated A49 when bus services were removed.
