What is recorded here

Clun Castle is a medieval ruin perched on a river bend in Shropshire, built by Robert de Say after the Norman invasion and later enjoyed by the Fitzalan family as a hunting lodge with pleasure gardens. Its tall keep still stands slightly off-centre on a scarped mound, revealing a design that favoured comfort over pure defence. The castle guarded the Marcher border against Welsh attack before fading into ruin, yet its stones still overlook the town and river like a forgotten sentinel.

Clun Castle is shown as a castle on the public map of Shropshire. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.

Clun Castle was built by the de Lacy family in the late 11th or early 12th century. It is important as a well-preserved example of a Norman motte-and-bailey castle and as a key defensive site in the border region between England and Wales.
