Sadly we didn't get to see the garden at it's finest due to a very heavy downfall. We however persevered and were rewarded with a hidden world of weird and wonderful creations. The garden is well landscaped but accessibility is an issue. If your mobility isn't great you may struggle as some degree of agility is needed to reach certain viewing points. However you can still see pretty much all of the works if you stay on one level. It takes a while to complete and you are given a guide to the works and there location (which also acts as a map) I loved the large mask which languished on a hillside but sadly it was well out of my price range, which was probably a saving grace. I would recommend this and suggest allowing yourself at least two/three hours to see it all.
We have visited this beautiful garden a few times. The gardens are amazing and the sculptures are wonderful. Well worth visiting.
This was my second visit. Each time has been to photograph the gardens and the sculptures they contain. I often find sculptures in museums and galleries cold and sterile but within the environment of this garden they take on a life of their own.Also this is not a typical "English country garden". It feels much more primordial. Much more organic. In a word "better".You'll find Hannah very accomadting to photographers too. Although the garden has set opening times you can arrange visits at other times by being polite and asking in advance. All Hannah asks for is a small contribution towards the upkeep of the gardens. It's a great place for photography. Its a great place period. I can't recommended this garden and it's owner/curator highly enough. Well worth a visit and a pleasing change from the pretentiousness of galleries that these kinds of work are usually seen in.
Visited the garden at the weekend, a leisurely hour-and-a-half stroll through the grounds and admiring the sculptures. It is even better this year, and a stunning recovery from the dreadful floods over Christmas. Well done all of you.It is impossible to describe the garden in a few sentences. Just visit the website, then visit the garden itself!
Discovered by chance whilst staying at a nearby hotel. Met Hannah and spent an inspiring morning/afternoon in the garden. Wonderful pieces in magical settings, uncovered as you explore, sometimes take the breath away as you grasp the geometry of their form. A combination of landscape design and sculptural form, colour, texture, light and shade, with the subtle sounds and fragrances of nature.Bear in mind that this is also a commercial venture for the promotion and sale of sculptors works. There is an entry charge but none of this detracts from the value and inspiration of a visit here.
This was our third trip over the last few years and the weather was overcast but not our spirits. The visits never disappoint and always delivers the surprise element. The plants and trees totally work together to provide the sculptures with the perfect setting. I love looking at the sculptures and then seeing them again from a different angle - hidden or half hidden behind foliage.Unlike a previous reviewer I am SO glad that this garden has no cafe. We always bring a picnic and there are plenty of places inside and out to eat it. There is a loo too. Our dog was welcomed on a lead.We were the only visitors this morning and met Hanna Peshar - a nice touch for us. It is like walking in someone's garden - but what a garden.Do go and visit - you will never forget this place. Such a beautiful and peaceful place. Should be prescribed on the NHS!
Really enjoyed this visit to the Hannah Peschar garden, never been before but will probably go again in a different season to see the art in a new setting. The only downside? A lack of cake / refreshments!
As an arts professional, it fills me with joy every time I come here. First time I did get lost, so don't trust your Satnav! Use their directions on the website, you can't go wrong. Gardens are just beautiful - looked after but not "fake". Just one gardener working 4 days a week, he must be superhuman! The range of artwork is stunning - and there are enough to keep you intrigued & surprised without shoehorning too many in (unlike other parks) Staff are delightful - often Hannah herself is in reception and she is just fascinating to talk to. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a lovely walk, an arty adventure or purchasing sculpture.
Walked through this wonderful garden with some weird and wonderful sculptures in a very creative way. You can cross a small bridge or walk around a pond to see metal fish. Naked torso's in elegant backdrops. My favourite is the large collection of bells on sticks that they ring from a slight breeze. I took my camera with me and enjoyed the photos I took for my album. As the previous advisor mentioned " a really magical place" well worth a visit.
The Sculpture Garden is a place of magic and wonder and an ideal place to exhibit and view sculptures. The gardens are so artfully designed and make the perfect backdrop to some interesting works set around the gardens. Lovely meandering paths lead you around the gardens and to discover the works on show - some leap out at you whilst other merge into their settings. A must see for anyone interested in the visual arts and landscaping/garden design.
