Flower Delivery to Clun – A Town in Shropshire Overlooked by Castle Ruins

Sitting on two Ice Age mounds is the ruined Clun Castle which overlooks the town of Clun. Described by poet A.E. Housman as one of the “quietest places under the sun” in his work A Shropshire Lad, Clun is the perfect place for rest and relaxation. As such, the town does make a lovely romantic destination. All you need are some Clun flowers and a nice picnic and you've got yourself a simple yet romantic date. The area near the Borderland Castle makes a lovely and scenic picnic spot and is a great place for children to have fun in.

A 15th-century Packhorse Bridge divides Clun into two: the ancient part located on the south and the newer one found on the north. The town has some historical highlights as well including the Town Hall, Clun Bridge and the Clun Castle. Lovers of walks can also use Clun as a starting point for exploring the Shropshire Way, the Jack Mytton Way or any of the local circular walks.

HISTORY

The name Clun is derived from the river which the town stands in. The town grew around the site of a Saxon church built towards the end of the 7th-century AD. In the area surrounding the town was a scattered population during the Neolithic period.

Clun was part of the historic drove road which was used to drive flocks and herds from Wales to the markets of Midlands and London. During the Norman Conquest, Clun was part of the lands of Eadric The Wild. When he revolted against King William I, his lands were confiscated and given to Roger de Montgomery, later Earl of Shrewsbury.
