LOVE this place. An extraordinary collection of art work beautifully installed around the park. I spent. almost three hours here and I'm sure I didn't even see half of what is on offer. Staff is very friendly and the park is set up with seating around the grounds. People were having picnics. A very special place. And it's free.

There are a couple of parks and forests with works of art throughout. It's free! There are toilets and water fountains, and a pub if that's what you fancy. I didn't take many photos of the artworks. They come with a QR code so you can learn more which I found handy.
