Clun, a walk to the happiest place under the sun - History and Spectacular Viewpoints

Starting at Clunton Coppice Wildlife Trust car park the walk traverses the Sowdley Woods a remnant of the Oak woodland which once covered most of South Shropshire and provided managed charcoal production for centuries. We descend into the town of Clun and visit the 13th century Norman castle, before ascending along the Shropshire Way to the Bury Ditches. Bury Ditches offers the most spectacular  viewpoint across South Shropshire and into Wales. The route then descends into the quaint hamlet of Clunton before ascending to the start point.
