| Approaching Clun Castle, a Norman fortification that in the 1100s was an important frontline defence against Welsh attacks |
 |
| The Great Tower is the best-preserved part, although that was built around 1300 to accommodate hunting parties, rather than as a defensive addition |
 |
| Fine views across the border into Wales |
 |
| Today the castle is perhaps most viewed as a picturesque backdrop for the local crown-green bowling club |
 |
| Imagination is needed to make much of Norton Camp hillfort |
 |
| But you do get some idea of how imposing the ramparts must have been |
 |
| And an artist's impression helps where imagination fails |
