    Sleep

    [edit]

    Due to its nature as a village, Clun's own accommodation is either from B&B or an inn. For larger hotels try Shrewsbury.

    Go next

    [edit]

    Cross the ancient (and narrow) Clun Bridge and head up the B road for Anchor - the most westerly place in Shropshire and source of the River Clun.
