Welcome to Rowton

Rowton is a small village located in the county of Shropshire, England. It is situated near the Welsh border and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village is known for its historic buildings, including the Grade II listed St. Michael's Church, which dates back to the 12th century. Rowton is also home to a number of traditional pubs and restaurants, serving locally sourced food and drink.

One of the main attractions in Rowton is the nearby Hawkstone Park and Follies. This 100-acre park is home to a range of natural and man-made attractions, including caves, grottos, and a tower with stunning views over the surrounding countryside. The park is also home to a number of rare and endangered species, including red squirrels and great crested newts. Visitors can explore the park on foot or by bike, and there are also guided tours available.

Rowton is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, with a range of activities available in the surrounding area. The nearby Shropshire Hills are a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and offer a range of walking and cycling routes. The River Severn also runs through the area, providing opportunities for fishing, kayaking, and other water-based activities. Whether you're looking for a relaxing break in the countryside or an action-packed adventure, Rowton has something to offer.
