CLUN WALKING GROUPS There are now three informal walking groups. Walks take place on Wednesday, year-round and on Monday evenings, June to August (see below).
The assembly point for all the
above groups is Clun Memorial Hall Car Park (GR:302811)
Participants in all group walks are invited to make a contribution towards
running costs when sharing cars to the start of the walks. Visitors
are welcome to join any of the walking groups. We are not part of
the national Rambles organisation .Clun Ramblers Clun Peramblers
Every Wednesday of the year, 7-8 mile walks,
less demanding and slightly slower than the Ramblers but somewhat faster
than the Amblers. Assembly at Clun Memorial Hall Car Park at 10 am.
Contact: Jean Smith 01588 640551. Between June and August the
Peramblers offer evening walks of 4-5 miles at a pleasant pace, meeting at
6 pm.
Clun Parish Paths Partnership We like to think that public rights of way in Clun Parish are in reasonable order. Should you find obstructions, damaged stiles or fingerposts, or cross-field paths that have not been re-instated through crops (not grass) when walking anywhere in Shropshire, please report the problem to:
Countryside Access Team, or to kevin.jones@shropshire.gov.uk Please quote a grid reference and a description of the location as clearly and detailed as possible. For the information of leaders, visiting walking groups may, by prior arrangement with Peter James 01588 640027, use the toilets at the Memorial Hall at the start of their walk. Please note that the hall is used by Parents and Toddlers on every Thursday and therefore for safety reasons the toilets are not available. Explorer Maps 201 and 216 provide more than adequate coverage of all the walking routes, while 'Clun Walks' available in Clun provides a selection of 10 local circular walks. Other Walking
Opportunities Long-distance Routes The Across Wales Walk is held annually on the first Saturday in September and starts from Clun. Walkers arrive the previous evening, sleep in Clun Memorial Hall overnight for the early start by coach to the Anchor Bridge on the Wales/England Border on Saturday morning and the 45-mile walk to Clarach Bay on the Welsh Coast just north of Aberystwyth. For details of this annual event email Stuart Lamb or visit the website Across Wales Walk Local groups of the Ramblers Association organise walks throughout Shropshire, and beyond, some of which are within easy reach of Clun. For details of all walks in Shropshire visit Shropshire Ramblers This website also provides details of often smaller parking places to access the remoter corners of the county. The East Radnor Branch of the Powys Ramblers, based in Knighton and Presteign, walk between 5 and 8 miles alternate Saturdays. For diary of walks visit Powys Ramblers For information on walks in Shropshire, resources and links to sites useful for walkers visit Best Walks Contours Walking Holidays offer
