Doddington Hall Sculpture Park

Number 149: "Chair" by David Freedman
He does some amazing sculptures! http://www.davidfreedmansculpture.co.uk

This August, the gardens of Doddington Hall are the setting for an amazing Sculpture Exhibition of over 350 works from over 60 national and international sculptors from all over the UK. 
It is an absolute must-see!  
I have always loved the wild, Elizabethan, romantic, walled gardens there and the sculptures are placed throughout them in a way that creates a mystical wonderland of discovery!  


From one turn to the next you don't know what you are going to find and you have to look everywhere or you'll miss some... in the trees, under hedges, in hedges!, in the ponds...  it is just wonderful! 

Number 218: "Briome Groups" by Elaine Lim-Newton

The pieces have been carefully selected and are in all mediums, from bronze to Aluminium, ceramics to wood, marble to stone, wind and kinetic pieces to water and glass.  They are created by Sculptors chosen from as far away as Troon and Perth in Scotland, Devon and Cornwall, as well as Brighton, London, Northumberland, The Cotswolds and the North West, as well as Northern Spain, Germany and The Netherlands. 


These spinning wooden sculptures are made by Lincolnshire Artist Mark Clarke.
