Secret Hills exhibition at the Discovery Centre

Over the winter months the Secret Hills exhibition has undergone a transformation which is nearly completed - from Saturday 3 May our totally new permanent exhibition will open to the public.

You can find out about the chilling Ice Age and meet our Mammoth. You'll get a flavour of life in the Iron Age and discover the story of some of Shropshire's many medieval castles. You'll also see some of the people, places and products which continue to make the Shropshire Hills a special place today.

As you go round the exhibition you'll learn how to be a landscape detective. So when you head out into the hills you should be able to spot some of their stories yourself.

The balloon ride has also really taken off. Our innovative, cutting-edge movie presentation takes centre-stage in the new-look exhibition area. It has been filmed using a high-definition, digital, six camera rig, fixed to a hot air balloon. This creates an extraordinary panoramic view of the Shropshire Hills, projected onto a 180-degree curved screen with surround sound, giving you the illusion of actually drifting across the landscape.
