Hawkstone Park Follies is a historic landscape park north of Shrewsbury that was laid out in the 18th century with grottoes, paths and a hilltop monument. The official site describes twinkling caves and dark tunnels, and reviewers talk about a climb to a tower. It feels more like a story than a park, and it is great for children and curious adults.
