Clun is a small, historic settlement in Shropshire, England, tucked into the steep, wooded upper valley of the River Clun and lying within the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The surrounding landscape of rolling pastures, hedgerows and rugged hilltops gives a strong sense of remoteness and makes it popular with walkers and nature lovers.
The parish retains a tangible medieval character, centred on the ruins of Clun Castle and a compact village core; its economy is rooted in agriculture, small local businesses and a modest tourism trade. There is a close-knit community vibe, visible in village halls, pubs and seasonal agricultural events, and a continuing emphasis on conservation and local heritage.
