The whole experience was amazing. This hidden gem of a place was recommended to us. We’re so pleased to have been now & will be recommending to all!
We spent approximately two & a half hours following the free laminated map provided which was well worth it otherwise you may not see everything. It was one fantastic sculpture after other, some completely breathtaking!
Please note to wear walking boots or trainers & expect to be walking up & down uneven paths.
We’d love to return (with a proper camera next time!)
Thank you for sharing these beautiful unique special sculptures.

Excellent place. This was our first visit and we loved it.
Lots of things to look at.
Our only criticism was that there were TOO many sculptures so almost didn't know where to look first!
Lots of walking including up and down steps - wear trainers or walking boots. No cafe on site but pub opposite.

The best £15 I've spent in a long time. For me, 3 hours was not enough time to appreciate more than 3000 sculptures here. Despite being a cold (3C) and drizzly day in March this hidden gem took my breath away. I was so focussed on each piece that when the paths opened up I often gasped in amazement and wonder at the views and the pop of colour.
Yes there are some macabre pieces, and yes not everything was to my liking but overall the skill and imagination involved in creating these pieces is mind-blowing. Personally I liked the quirky skeletons.
After an hour I realised I was less than 1/4 of the way round and it closed at 5pm. Really wish I'd got there earlier. There was so much to look at and read. Absolutely fascinating - loved it and will definitely return for a whole day next time.
Also for context I was there on a quiet, wet and cold weekday so parking was not an issue. The paths were well maintained and signposted for someone with no mobility issues.

OMG - this place is amazing. We ran out of energy to see it all, so will be back. I just wish you paid one entry fee which lasted a year, as it'll be quite expensive going back again.

Wonderful place to spend a couple of hours or so. Really lovely setting, beautiful trees, plants, small rivers and ponds. Loads of sculptures to look at from the amusing to creative and engaging. We would highly recommend a visit.

This is an homage to modern sculpture from around the world. I'm so glad we found time to visit this place. Booking needs to be in advance. Go prepared as there are no food or drink facilities inside, but there are places to eat a picnic or you can return to your car or the pub opposite at any time - but you won't want to leave. There's a small amount of parking outside the entrance or you are directed to park to the side of the pub opposite in their car park on their website. We had no problems.
You've already seen a lot of sculptures by the time you wend your way to the reception in the centre of the property. Rest assured there are 1000s more - high, low, large and small, almost crammed in together and they're all for sale in theory (no prices displayed). Although not a large floor area, there are 2 miles of trails as you follow different coloured routes which take you up and down the hillside and round the ponds, sometimes weaving around similar paths. You can wander or follow the suggested trails. In theory they're all numbered so following the route means you're less likely to miss any. They are however trails, so uneven ground, lots of steps and possibly muddy and slippery when wet. It's also under trees, so branches sticking out - not possible for pushchairs or wheelchairs.
It was good to see the variety of sculpture, all from unknown, but very talented artists. Somewhere to revisit many times if you live locally - sadly we don't. We didn't see it all, but all the more reason to return.

Beautiful setting in the lovely Surrey countryside. This is an absorbing place to see a waide variety of sculptures with nature alongside it. There is a lot to do here and it can easily take more than 3 hours depending on how fast you walk. Definitely worth visiting The Bel and Dragon pub opposite for lunch and teas and coffees. On reflection, we would have divided our visit with a stop in the pub rather than try to do it all in one go. There are over 800 sculptures on display. On the downside, some of the sculptures are difficult to see having been obscured by vegetation. Overall a very good experience but do give yourself plenty of time to see and appreciate it

Interesting place with some great sculptures but……..no car parking so had to park some distance up the road. Facilities not great. There are a couple of toilets but no catering at all which is a shame as I’m sure they could make some money out of that. Admission quite costly considering the lack of facilities. There are many steps, some of which are quite big and very few hand rails and also many slopes. On the day we visited the ground was quite wet so the slopes and steps were quite slippery with tree roots and loose stones it was difficult underfoot at times. Such a shame as this place could be so much better

Initially thought this was bit expensive but we were surprised. Spent over two hours walking around the 700+ sculptures in magnificent surroundings. Pathways signposted well and sculptures labelled. Only thing I will say is vegetation could be cut back around some exhibits and signs, but I suppose that is because it is late in the season. Highly recommend in fine dry weather. Paths could be slippy if damp.
