About the River Clun
The River Clun is a wild trout and grayling river in south Shropshire. It rises near the hamlet of Anchor, close to the Welsh border, and flows east through the small town of Clun. Below Aston on Clun it turns roughly south, passing Clunbury and Clungunford, and it crosses into Herefordshire to join the River Teme at Leintwardine. The whole valley lies within the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and it is very rural.
The Folly Brook, the Unk, the Kemp and the Redlake all feed it on the way. The catchment sits on Silurian sandstones, which make the banks soft and easily eroded. It has a relatively steep gradient and well formed pools and riffles, and it is wild and natural, with the hazards that come with that.
The Clun carries a good head of wild brown trout and grayling, and it is not stocked. Otters, white-clawed crayfish, bullhead and brook lamprey live here, and it is one of only eleven English watercourses with freshwater pearl mussels. It is a Special Area of Conservation, and pollution and silt have damaged the mussels’ habitat.
