About

Hawkstone Park Follies is a sprawling 100‑acre landscape in Shropshire that marries natural beauty with whimsical architecture. The park’s dramatic sandstone hills have been transformed into a series of enchanting follies – winding tunnels, towering bridges, winding caves and stately towers – that harken back to 19th‑century landscaping ideals. Visitors wander through lush arboretum plantations, discover wildlife‑rich habitats, and encounter playful stone sculptures that tell stories of adventure and mystery. The park welcomes families, couples, and adventurous solo travelers alike and offers guided tours, seasonal events, and a charming tearoom that serves hot paninis and traybakes. While the park is mostly free for children under four, a general admission fee of £10.50 applies to adults and older children, and an annual pass costs £31.50. Open seasons run from mid‑February to October, with extended daily hours during school holidays and specialised weekend schedules.
