Kinver Edge and the Rock Houses
High sandstone ridge and hill fort overlooking dramatic red sandstone rock houses
Kinver's woodland sandstone ridge offers dramatic views across surrounding counties and miles of heathland walking country. The famous Holy Austin Rock Houses, which were inhabited until the 1950s, are open to visitors at selected times.
Learning
Join us at the Rock Houses for a school visit with a difference. Explore these unique cave dwellings, trying on Victorian costumes, handling real objects and having a go at some of the daily chores such as the laundry and making rag rugs.
