Clun Castle is a ruined castle in the small town of Clun, established by the Norman lord Robert de Say after the Norman invasion of England. Owned for many years by the Fitzalan family, Clun played a key part in protecting the region from Welsh attack until it was abandoned. By the 16th century the castle was largely ruined.
Today the castle is classed as a Grade I listed building and as a Scheduled Monument. It is owned by the Duke of Norfolk, who also holds the title of Baron Clun, and is managed by English Heritage.
