EspañolCLUNGUNFORD
'Clungunford' is a village and civil parish in the district of South Shropshire of Shropshire, England, located near the border with Herefordshire.
The name comes from the fact that this part of the Clun area was owned by the Saxon lord Gunward and so was called "Clun Gunward". The River Clun here was forded and the name became Clungunford.
The village includes St. Cuthbert's Church and lies between 130m and 145m above sea level. The River Clun flows nearby. There is a locally famous "tea rooms" cafe - the ''Bird on the Rock'' - which is just over the river from the village in the hamlet of Abcott. Watch out for the bloke in there with the apron and ginger hair who is very rude !!! The river here is crossed by Clungunford Bridge. The village is quite close to the railway station at Hopton Heath.
