Clun Parish Paths Partnership
We extend a warm welcome to all
walkers. For easier day-long parking in Clun, walkers should use the 70 space Clun
Memorial Hall free car park, at GR:302811, to ease pressure on the essentially short-stay
Clun Bridge car park. Please encourage your group leaders and other visiting walkers to
use the Memorial Hall.
For the information of leaders, visiting walking
groups are most welcome to use the toilets available at the Memorial Hall by prior
arrangement with John Thorpe (01588 640254)
O.S. Explorer Maps 201 and 216 provide more than
adequate coverage of all the walking routes, while 'Clun Walks' and 'Walks around Clun'
available in Clun provide a selection of local walks.
Footbridges
Walkers may like to know that the previously
flood-damaged bridge across the River Clun on Offa's Dyke Path National Trail at
