Flounders’ Folly is a landmark stone tower standing 80 feet above Callow Hill, near Craven Arms, South Shropshire. The Folly, built by Benjamin Flounders, is visible for miles around and provides visitors with spectacular views.

Visitors can climb to the top and admire the wonderful 360º views of the Welsh borderland, the West Midlands, and the attractive patchwork landscape of the Shropshire hills and fields. A series of interpretation boards around the inside of the viewpoint inform visitors of exactly what they are looking at.
There is no charge for entry, but a donation box is available and all money is gratefully received to help keep the Folly maintained and in good order.
Details of opening dates are available on their website, and from the Discovery Centre in Craven Arms.
The Folly is opened by volunteers on at least one Sunday a month.
