| Clun Castle was an important Norman border fortress, defending against Welsh incursions |
 |
| The castle became less important in the late-1200s, following Edward I's conquests in North Wales |
 |
| It later became a hunting lodge, but was described as a ruin in the 1500s, and, today, so little remains that entry is free |
 |
| Nearby are the even-more rundown remains of the 2,500-year-old Bury Ditches hillfort |
 |
| How it may have looked |
Very nice and interesting in that area

Yes, I knew very little about the Shropshire Hills before coming here, so everything has been more-or-less new.
