Inside the historic Shropshire town overlooked by the more popular Church Stretton, Ironbridge and Ludlow
One of the most historic towns in the Shropshire Hills is often overlooked by visitors who instead go to more famous nearby destinations such as Church Stretton, Ironbridge, and Ludlow.
Clun is a small but historically significant town in south Shropshire that is often overlooked by visitors who instead travel to the more popular nearby destinations.
The town has a rich medieval past as it was developed around the imposing ruins of Clun Castle, which was built shortly after the Norman Conquest to help defend the English–Welsh border.
It was part of the border defence system between England and Wales, making it strategically important in medieval times.
The small town has even retained its medieval street pattern, historic bridge, and traditional stone cottages along the River Clun.
