Hawkstone Park Follies

Adventure, explore, discover…there’s a magical world to uncover

Throughout the parks history numerous Follies have been added to the landscape, providing new discoveries around every corner.

Hawkstone Park may have been the original “theme park” as it was laid out amongst the natural features of the North Shropshire landscape in the 18th Century by eminent members of the Hill family for the enjoyment of visitors to their family estate but eventually due to a lack of funds it fell into disrepair. In the 1980’s its historic importance was recognised and it was lovingly restored and opened to the public once again some ten years later.

These days Hawkstone Park is one of Shropshire’s premier outdoor attractions and it offers an exciting day out for families which is a little bit different. The beautiful woodland Follies Adventure Park has hidden pathways, caves, secret tunnels, and a grotto, and from the top of the Monument it is said you can see twelve counties!

The walk which is about 3km can be quite strenuous but there are shorter routes for you to enjoy. Due to the terrain not all areas are accessible for those with mobility issues but if would still like to enjoy the Park and see the views, then a Warden Safari is available for only a small extra cost. A season pass is available for local visitors which has an array of benefits such as free coffee and cake in the Café on certain dates. For more information on these or any of the services we offer within the Park, please call us direct on 01948 841777.

We invite you to come and enjoy a day’s exploration followed by a hot meal or afternoon tea, locally sourced, in our newly refurbished Caspian’s Café in the Visitor Centre which has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.

If you are planning a full day out and live further way, the Hawkstone Park Hotel offers every comfort and all the facilities you would expect.

Of course Hawkstone Park also offers you the opportunity to play two of the finest Golf Courses in the West Midlands, and in addition we have the Short Course where you can play golf in an hour if you are a little short of time or want to bring the family. The driving range is open to visitors too.
