Can I touch the sculptures?

Yes, you can touch the outdoor artworks. The sculptures can be more delicate than they look, so please be careful, especially if you are wearing jewellery.

What should I wear?

Much of our estate is grassland and can get very muddy in wet weather. We advise wearing sturdy, practical shoes and bringing waterproofs if rain is forecast.
