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. It was once a large forest covering an area that stretched from Ludlow up the Clun Valley. It now is only forested in some wooded areas, such as Radnor Wood, though a fairly large area of forest exists on the Wales–England border north of Anchor (the planted Ceri Forest). The ancient Offa's Dyke runs north-south through the area (and can be walked by the Offa's Dyke Path). It is a deanery of the Church of England's Diocese of Hereford.〔(Diocese of Hereford )〕 == A Shropshire Lad == A. E. Housman wrote as part of his series of poems A Shropshire Lad: "In valleys of springs of rivers By Ony and Teme and Clun, The country for easy livers, The quietest under the sun... 'Tis a long way further than Knighton, A quieter place than Clun, Where doomsday may thunder and lighten And little 'twill matter to one." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Clun Forest」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
