Very evocative statue of Wilfred Owen, one of the great poets of The First World War. Some of his poetry is actually engraved on the statue. Very thought provoking and well worth a walk to look at it.
3. Park Hall the Countryside Experience
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 412 reviews
Visit Park Hall Countryside Experience, the amazing National award winning farm park with lots of animal fun, action and adventure for the kids. There are regular hands-on animal activities, and each day there is a spectacular pig racing event, even try your hand at milking a cow! At Park Hall the kids can play till they’re worn out, try out the two massive indoor play barns with a new ‘Demon Drop Slide’ and bouncy castles. Discover the great outdoors where there are adventure courses, woodland walks and a picturesque lake. Kids can even ‘learn to drive’ in electric cars or landrovers. If you love science checkout the Science Illusion Zone. There’s a Victorian School, Iron Age Roundhouse and Welsh Guards Museum too. A great day out for all the family.

We had a great day out here. Plenty of outdoor activities (and lovely weather) meant we could stay outdoors all day without needing to try the indoor activities. We loved the dinosaur egg hunt, the driving school, playareas, go karts and the barrel ride. We all enjoyed the maize maze and the pig racing. Easy to social distance from other adults as there is plenty of space and it wasn't over crowded. I saw staff cleaning the toilets and the barrel ride was sanitised after each turn. Our first proper attraction style outing since Covid and we felt safe and had a great time. We would definitely recommend.

Sign posted from Oswestry up a small lane. There is parking at the foot of the hill and a stone path to the top, so even though it had been raining you didn’t get muddy. There are a series of notice boards around the site, explaining the history and lay out of the fort. Most of all though it’s a lovely walk with great views. It takes 30 minutes at a steady pace to walk around.

Heritage railway restoration project and associated visitor attraction, woodland walks, green space, monorail, and more
Reviewed By Traveller410 - Durham, United Kingdom
This railway is a 'hidden' gem in a great environment. It has a mix of standard and narrow gauge railway locomotives and vehicles including some moved from the recently closed Coventry railway museum. The real highlight is the collection of over 100 monorail vehicles including one steam locomotive. There is a working monorail for rides and, for enthusiasts, most of the locomotives and vehicles are reasonably easy to identify. Well worth a visit particularly for a good family day out.

Staying in Oswestry for a couple of days, came across the Oswestry Stone Cross & Fountain in the heart of town. A historic meeting place - pretty cross & Tudor building. Well worth stopping by to admire and explore watching the world go by.
