HILSTON PARK WELCOMES YOU…
Set between the River Wye and the Black Mountains, Hilston Park has been standing tall in the enchanting Welsh countryside for centuries. Over the years it has been used for countless events and activities, and it is well known and well loved by locals thanks to its beauty and the happy memories many people have here.
Here at Hilston Park we don't only have the regal main house, we also have acres of meadow and woodland to be explored, some of which is home to rare dragonflies and plant species which are protected for scientific study purposes.
Now, we're bringing Hilston Park back to you. We can't wait to welcome back groups of people to enjoy these amazing surroundings once again, and we want you to enjoy every aspect of what we have on offer. Whether you're a school group looking for a residential trip, a corporate group looking for a work retreat, or you're planning the destination wedding of the year, get in touch with us and we'd love to start planning with you!
