Yorkshire Sculpture Park

A walk from YSP car park, Sun, 1 Jul 2018 by Rudi Winter

This trip is part of a series.next leg

A few of us met up to visit the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, located in the grounds of the former Bretton Hall Estate. Besides many modern outdoor sculptures, there are exhibitions by contemporary artists and also an underground gallery for indoor exhibits. The park is located on a hillside, partly wooded and partly grassy, and there are two connected lakes fed by the River Dearne.
