Cittàslow - 'Slow Cities'

The Cittaslow movement was born out of Slow Food. A meeting of mayors of small towns in Italy in the 1990s realised that the principles that lay behind the Slow Food movement could equally well be applied to making the towns that we live in become better places.

Ludlow became Britain's first Cittàslow town. It has since been joined by Aylsham, Diss, Mold, Perth and Berwick-upon-Tweed. More towns are on their way to membership!
