	Clun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Clun is a small town in Shropshire, England, in the district of South Shropshire.
		The population of the town and the surrounding area (the parish of Clun and Chapel Lawn), according to the 2001 census, is a mere 1086, which is a population normally associated with that of a village.
		Clun Forest is to the west of the town, further upstream of the Rivers Unk and Clun.

	Clun Forest History - Article 3
		In the Clun area, the land rose from east to west from 600 to 1250 feet, and until the middle of the 16th century, this was one of the wildest and most desolate regions in England, for it was an area of conflict between the Welsh and the English.
		Clun flocks were found on some mixed dairy farms in Wales and on similar farms on the grasslands of the West Midlands, but the breed's real opportunity arrived at the turn of the century.
		Clun breeders owe a considerable debt to Tony, who coming to Canada in the 1960s, had the experience and foresight to recognize that the Clun Forest sheep was very well adapted for use on the grassland farms of North America.

	Clun Castle
		Clun Castle started as a motte and bailey castle, built by the Norman, Robert de Say, around 1140-50, as part of the Marcher lordship known as the Honour of Clun.
		Overlooking the River Clun and close to the confluence of the Clun and River Usk, the site was chosen for its defensive advantage and the presence of a natural rocky mound which could easily serve as the motte.
		While Clun Castle pales in comparison to the Fitzalan's fortress at Arundel, it is a marvelous example of a Marcher castle, intended to keep the unruly Welsh under Norman control.

	Clun Forest - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Clun Forest is a remote, rural area of open pastures, moorland and mixed deciduous/coniferous woodland in the southwest part of the English county of Shropshire and also just over the border into Powys, Wales.

	Archenfield Archaeology - Clun
		Its fortunes began to recover and the manor was the centre of Picot’s Barony of Clun and included a manorial hall, a mill, (probably of Saxon origin) 15 taxable hides and land for 60 ploughs.
		Clun Castle, first mentioned in 1140, was probably built in the late eleventh century by Picot de Say, or his son Henry, and a planned street layout seemingly arose in association.
		Clun was a strategic and political power base, although the story that it was attacked by Prince Rhys ap Gruffydd in 1196 is the result of a mistranslation of Clun for Colwyn (in Radnorshire - see article by Paul Remfrey).

	Clun Castle, Clun, Shropshire
		Clun Castle was built in the motte and bailey style around the 1100’s by the Norman, Robert de Say.
		The proximity of the confluence between the Rivers Clun and Usk had created a rocky outcrop, which could easily have been used to serve as the motte.
		Today the town of Clun has grown up around the castle; however the remains of the rectangular keep and two baileys make it a site worth visiting.

		In the years since the founding of the NACFA, Cluns have quietly spread from Nova Scotia to British Columbia and from Vermont to Oregon.
		They've proved remarkably adaptable--to Minnesota's cold, to the desert heat of Utah, and to the constant humidity of Hawaii.
		Because of their characteristic ease of lambing, mothering ability, lamb vitality, and eagerness to forage, Cluns are proving to be the breed, developed in the 18th and 19th century,, which is particularly suited for the grass-based livestock production systems of the 21st century.
