This pod-like shelter is nestled in the woods at Winterfold in the Hurtwood. The visitor enjoys a secluded experience sitting and looking out across to the beautiful South Downs. The steel structure is entirely clad in cedar shingles that have slowly greyed over the years making the artwork feel truly part of its natural surroundings.
Many of the shingles have been engraved with words from visitors to the site. There are observations from infants at the local school, regular walkers expressing their love of the place or people who are making dedications. The cedar shingles also make up the long curved seating within the pod encouraging dialogue between visitors as they meet at this section on the Greensand Way.
