Visited a really nice sculpture park in Roundwood last week. I had been to visit the park when I was wee little kid with my parents when there was only about 5 sculptures in the park. When I went back last week there was maybe 15-20 sculptures there.
You enter the park through the creation gate which is like a little stone cave that looks a bit like a womb. Then you are in this big field with 9 sculptures of Ganesh (the remover of obstacles).But the real journey begins when you enter the enchanted forest. There is 7 sculptures showing the journey through life. On this journey you are taken on a long walk around a lake and back up to the field where you started. Here there is a small gallery showing the sculpture being made and a neat little gift shop with sculpture, jewellery, incense and oils.
The park was the vision a of Victors the owner who had all the sculpture commissioned. He's there at the park and well worth chatting to.
Overall I'd say its well worth a visit. All the little modern touches added to the sculptures make it very enjoyable!
