150 steps will take you to the top of the Monument. Enjoy the views 😊

A series of caves and passages excavated from soft sandstone makes up the mysterious and magical grotto at Hawkstone Park. The windows would once have been stained glass, and the walls encrusted with shells and fossils, along with bright turquoise furnace slag from nearby Coalbrookdale. Most of these decroations were lost during the war, but the Grotto remains an exciting place explore. Wind your way through tunnels and small caves, under arches and through large open spaces. Bring your torch so you don't miss the intricately carved arches, tree trunks and even faces in the walls.

A lovely spot for a picnic, atop a wooded, grassy hill above the park, the obelisk at Hawkstone was built to commemorate Sir Rowland Hill, the first Protestant Lord Mayor of London. Hill bought Hawkstone and other land nearby in 1556 and his descendant, Sir Richard Hill, erected the obelisk in Rowland's honour in 1795.

Ruins of a 16th century castle that was ruined during the Civil War. Under the care of English Heritage now and free to wander around. It's an imposing site from the roadside, but getting up close to the building is advised.

This castle has undergone centuries of building work with the oldest parts dating back to the 12th century. Much of what remains is from the 16th century and it's in extraordinary condition with large sections of wall still standing. It was ruined during the Civil War. The castle is under the care of English Heritage and is free to enter and walk around.

This gorgeous woodland sits on the side of a sandstone ridge and is a mixture of broad-leaf and conifer trees. While heavily wooded, there are several viewpoints that offer fantastic views of the flatter, patchwork landscape to the south. Significant quarrying took place here and many buildings in the surroundings were built out of Grinshill sandstone. Today, this site is protected and is a thriving habitat for wildlife and flora.

Flowing from Llangollen in North Wales to Hurleston in Cheshire, the Llangollen Canal is a beautiful waterway straddling the border between England and Wales. There are many picturesque spots along the canal: traditional narrowboats glide gently across the water as ducks swim by and anglers sit quietly on the banks. The project of prominent engineers such as Thomas Telford, the canal has carried boats since 1795. Although it is no longer used for industry, many pleasure boats and holidaymakers still enjoy cruising the waters today.
