Holy Austin Rock House, Compton Road, Kinver, Stourbridge DY7 6DL
Heritage Open Day: Visit these quirky restored rock dwellings where families lived until the 1960s. Carved into the red sandstone with dramatic views across several counties.

Get comfortable by the fire and our volunteers will tell you tales of the people that lived right inside the rock.
Enjoy a freshly baked cream tea or light bites in the delightful tearoom.
Just outside is the heathland of Kinver Edge - a pocket of wilderness, buzzing with insects and heady with the scent of gorse and purple heather. A stroll along the sandstone ridge offers dramatic views across surrounding counties from the ramparts of an imposing Iron Age Hill Fort.
