Wow. This place is a hidden gem. So peaceful. An abundance of incredible sculptures to look at. Well worth a visit for some tranquility. Definitely buy tickets in advance. It was very busy, even on a Thursday morning..

Absolutely incredible place! Definitely worth visiting. Loads of various sculptures and variety of trees. Beautiful views. Free car park, cafe, gallery. Also you could rent some Pod's (dotted around the lake) for romantic and private dates 🥰
