Hawkstone Park Follies is described on its website as an historic woodland landscape featuring cliffs, crags, networks of caves, rhododendron jungles, stunning views and a series of extraordinary monuments built as a fantasy Theme Park over 200 years ago. After years of neglect the magical landscape was lovingly restored and reopened in 1993.

Parts of the park and the main walking routes contains several flights of steps, some natural ones carved into rock and some man made wooden ones. Much more than a stroll in the woods, this 2-3 hour adventure will awe anyone who succeeds in exploring its crags and crevices.

This is the second time we’ve visited the park, the first time being 15 years ago, when we were a little bit younger and fitter. But we had a fab day out just the same. A great visit with the family, but some areas might be difficult with young children, particularly if you’re trying to walk the full trail.
