Scuplture Park, Churt, Jan 2016
The extra-ordinary sculpture park at Churt, near Thursley in Surrey, Jan 2016.
The park is set in 10 acres of woodland with ponds and wet areas, with over 600 exhibits (many available for purchase) displayed outside, with many more in its indoor gallery.
The variety of subjects, materials and textures is simply mind-blowing, as is the originality and creativeness of many of the pieces.
I actually had to stop myself about a third of the way round, and promise myself a return visit, because I really was starting to get a feeling of "sensory overload"! (These images, therefore, make up just a fraction of all that is to be seen.)
I visited on a day that looked like it would have 'sunnier spells later' but in the event stayed pretty dull and overcast. I can only think it would look even more impressive on a brighter day.
I'd say to allow at least 3 hours to explore the whole park properly, preferably more. The park is at Churt, opposite a pleasant pub called the Bell and Dragon, and can be accessed via the Thursley junction from the A3.
