River Clun, Shropshire

The River Clun runs mostly through Shropshire, England and joins the River Teme at Leintwardine, Herefordshire. The Clun Valley is part of the Shropshire Hills AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty).[6]

The River Clun has its source near the hamlet of Anchor (in a marshy area near the public house), close to the border of Wales.[7] It flows east through the small town of Clun until Aston on Clun where it flows roughly southwards — the river flows around the north of Clunbury Hill.[8] The river enters the lower valley — which widens and has a flatter floor (an extensive flood plain).[9]

The Folly Brook joins the Clun at Newcastle, and the River Unk flows into the Clun near Clun Castle, whilst the River Kemp flows into the river at Oaker near Aston. Near the end of the river’s course, the River Redlake joins at Jay.[8]

Just south of Broadward (a Site of Special Scientific Interest for a stretch south of Broadward Bridge) the river flows into Herefordshire where it joins the River Teme.[10]
