Hawkstone Park Follies is a surreal and fantastical landscape garden created in the 18th century by Sir Rowland Hill and Richard Payne Knight. The park features a series of eccentric and whimsical structures, including towers, arches, and ruins, designed to evoke a sense of wonder and curiosity. The follies are scattered throughout the park's rolling hills, woodlands, and lakes, creating a dreamlike atmosphere that transports visitors to a world of fantasy and imagination.
A lovely day out, fantastic trails. So much to explore. Free parking A nice cafe Friendly welcoming staff Well worth the visit
What a gem, challenging walking in places but absolutely worth it
Really enjoyed the walk round the follies. Couldn't believe you could just climb the 150 steps of the monument without having to pay extra. Fantastic view from the top
Hawkestone Park is one of my favourite places to visit. I never get bored. Lots of scenery and photo points. You can take as little or long to get around. It can be half a day out or a full day out. There are easier routes to take around the walk. Take a picnic or you can eat in the cafe, the cream scones are lovely. A good walk for the dogs too.
Quite incredible for a couple of reasons, amazing construction and that you can climb the many many steps inside and admire the view from the platform at the top. So glad they have kept this maintained and open
A stunning attraction in the Hawkstone park follies. The height is breathtaking and the stunning views from the top are even better.
