Clun Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

Toward the end of this route a wonderful ruined castle gradually comes into view on the horizon, signifying that your day in the saddle is almost done. Clun Castle dates from the 11th Century, and has been the scene of many battles over the centuries. Today it is managed by English Heritage and open to the public. It is well worth taking the time to look round - the views through its ruined arches over the border to Wales are quite impressive!
