Hawkstone Park Follies Hawkstone Park Follies

The Hawkstone Park Follies is a historic woodland with cliffs, crags, caves, deep woods and a series of extraordinary monuments built over 200 years ago, after years of neglect the magical landscape was lovingly restored and reopened in 1993.

Hawkstone Park was the original site of a defensive castle built for Henry de Audley in 1227. During the 18th century it was bought by Sir Rowland Hill who created a fantasy landscape and an extensive trail of follies, gardens, caves, ornamental bridges and grottos.

Constructed around dramatic sandstone cliffs rising abruptly from the Shropshire Plain and with so many attractions to see, it is little wonder that Hawkstone was once one of the most visited landscapes in Britain.
