Note that you may not see all the sculpture others posted as the sculptures are moved based on the owner request. It you have time take a walk around the lake . Beautiful hidden nature for walking

Chloe Cullen

Came here in July and it was a beautiful day so we got to see all of the sculptures . Lovely for a day out and for all different ages of people! Dog friendly too which is great ????

Dave Milne

Unique attraction in the park of an old country house that became a college & is now being turned into a hotel . Great for a walk in good weather & has a decent visitor centre . Free except for parking .

Be prepared for a long walk. Put on boots made for walking and you are prepared to get dirty feet. Loots of sheep , cow and geese phoooo everywhere.Sculptures , strange trees and landscape to see.

Emylee

This place is huge.... And has some very "interesting" stuff. Most of it is wonderful to see, and the grounds are gorgeous:)

Emylee

Walking around I saw a lot of women in high heels, wedges, and flip flops. DON'T. The ground is covered in sheep and cow dung. It's also uneven. Flat sensible trainers are appropriate.

Chris Phillips

Try a circular walk from the YSP Centre to the Longside Gallery and back. Good exercise and fantastic art : what more could you want?

Ben Watson

A great place to stretch the legs for a few hours. Check out the rusted steel tree sculpture near the old church - brilliant.

Andy Barnard

Wear good walking shoes ... ground can be muddy and is covered in animal waste in parts. A great place to spend a few hours

Danny Hartshorne

Absolutely gorgeous place to go and get lost in. Be sure sure to check out the underground gallery

Nick Potter

The new landscaping is complete. Take a walk round the lower lake then cross the cascade bridge to get to the stepping stones with a great view back to Bretton Hall.

Diego Ruiz-Hernandez

Insanely expensive prices in the shops, £5.20 for two packs of crisps and a cookie ? Bring your own snacks ! And... £6. 50 for two hors parking ? Almost robbery!

Bruno Domingues

Nice for a walk and take photos, a lot of sheep wandering around also

Shona Waud

Be sure to pop into the cafe there. Some of the food is a bit on the pricey side but tastes fab. I recommend the red pepper , houmous and guacamole sandwich !

Wendy Larkin

Sculpture may not be your thing but Bretton Park and lakes are wonderful for walking around.

Jamie Shaw

Modern art , if that's your bag. A couple of steel girders painted green and welded together.

Phil Waud

This place is so lovely when the sun is out, stroll around the wonderful countryside and see the amazing monumental sculptures !
