Clun Castle, Shropshire

Clun Castle is a ruined castle originally established by the Norman lord Robert de Say after the Norman invasion.

Owned for many years by the Fitzalan family, Clun played a key role in protecting the region from Welsh attack until it was eventually abandoned as a property in favour of the more luxurious Arundel Castle. The Fitzalans converted Clun Castle into a hunting lodge in the 14th century, complete with pleasure gardens, but by the 16th century the castle was largely ruined. Slighted in 1646 after the English Civil War Clun remained in poor condition until renovation work in the 1890s.

Today the castle is owned by the Duke of Norfolk, who also holds the title of Baron Clun.
