Shenstone Follies are ornamental structures located in Shenstone, a village in Staffordshire, England. They were designed in the 18th century by the poet and landscape designer William Shenstone, who aimed to enhance the natural beauty of his estate. These follies include various architectural features, such as ruins, temples, and bridges, which serve no practical purpose but add aesthetic value to the landscape. The follies reflect the Romantic ideals of the time, emphasizing the beauty of nature and the picturesque. They are part of Shenstone's larger garden design, which combines natural elements with artistic structures, creating a harmonious environment for visitors to enjoy.
