Things to do

Hawkstone Park Follies is a popular destination that offers a variety of attractions. One of the main highlights is Grotto Hill, a pitch-dark labyrinth of ancient mines cut into the cliff that visitors can explore. Torches are required, but if you forget to bring one, they are available for purchase in the visitor centre. Another attraction is the Swiss Bridge, a rustic wooden structure that spans a deep chasm. Visitors can also experience The Cleft, a path winding between two cliffs that narrows into a dark tunnel. For panoramic views of up to 13 counties, visitors can climb The Monument, a 100ft high column.

Visitors with young children are advised to bring a baby backpack as pushchair access is limited to the Visitor Centre and Grand Valley. The park has picnic tables, and visitors can enjoy refreshments and light snacks at The Glass House.
