Clun Castle was founded after the Norman Conquest and became an important Marcher lord castle, with a great keep that survives as a ruin. It stands above the River Clun beside the small town of Clun, which a CPRE study named one of the most tranquil in England. A free ruin to wander, with the town's pubs and bridge close by.
