CLUN CASTLE

An early motte castle with two baileys joined by causeways at the junction of two rivers. A stone wall and gateway were built on the motte in the 12th century. The Great Tower, an 80 foot tower, was added in the late 13th century and still stands although ruined. The castle ceased to be used in the 16th century.

English Heritage, open all year.
