This park is a steep slope made from sandstone, with various footpaths through the woods. To the north of the hill the ramparts of an old hill fort are present. An old sandstone quarry face forms a spectacular cliff, popular for rock climbing. Cut into the cliff face is a cave, reputedly the hideaway of the highwayman Humphrey Kynaston and his horse. In August, the hills literally ring with the sound of music, a the Shrewsbury Folk Festival gets underway, attracting famous names from across the country, whilst in September, there is a three-day feast of great entertainment on the streets of Shrewsbury, in the form of the Shrewsbury International Street Theatre Festival. Other local attractions include Acton Burnell Castle, Cronkhill Villa and Haughmond Abbey.
