Clun Ramblers
We set off from Clun Bridge at 6pm every Tuesday from April to August for 5-7 mile walks; visitors are most welcome to join us.  Contact: Jenny Hodgson on 01588 640401.

All-day walks of about 10 miles take place on third Thursdays of the month, April to August.  Start times vary.   In Winter we assemble at Clun Bridge every Wednesday at 10am for car sharing to the start of our 10 mile walks. Visitors are welcome.  Contact: Peter James on 01588 640027

For more information on Clun Ramblers' walks scheduled in the next few weeks consult thet  Events Diary

Clun Amblers - a new walking group has been formed.  This group is for those who like walking but at a gentle pace, stopping to admire the view or look at interesting flora or fauna, or just those who can't keep up with the pace of the very experienced (and fit) Clun Ramblers., maximum distance 6 miles.   Following a very successful first Amble before Christmas, it is to become a regular event on the first and third Wednesdays in the month (weather permitting) starting at 10 am from the Bridge Car Park.  For further details contact Maurice or Dorothy Young on 01588 640846. Please consult the events diary for information on dates of "Ambles".

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) or Peter James 01588 640027

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. 

Other Walking Opportunities
The programme of Rail Rambles from railway stations in Mid-Wales and the Marches can be obtained from manned stations or by sending a stamped-addressed envelope to "The Ramblers in Wales", Ty'r Cerddwyr, High Street, Gresford, Wrexham, LL12 8PT

Long-distance Routes
Clun is just three and a half miles from the Offa's Dyke National Trail where it crosses the road to Newcastle-on-Clun at Lower Spoad Farm.  Some local B&B providers offer a pick-up and drop-off service for those walking the Trail.  Three long- distance routes pass through Clun.  The Shropshie Way and Wild Edric's Way for walkers and the Jack Mytton Way, Shropshire's own long-distance bridleway.  Just across the Border, Glyndwr's Way starts its journey from Knighton to Machynlleth and back to Welshpool, which is conveniently linked by the Offa's Dyke National Trail with Knighton.

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.   For details of this annual event email Stuart Lamb or visit the website Across Wales Walk 

Local groups of the Rambler's Association organise walks throughout Shropshire, and beyond, some of which are within easy reach of Clun.  For details visit Shropshire Ramblers   The East Radnor Branch of the Powys Ramblers Association, based in Knighton and Presteign, walk between 5 and 8 miles alternate Saturdays.  For diary of walks visit Powys Ramblers
