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.
