Tremenheere Sculpture Park
The dramatic landscape and planting provide the backdrop to contemplative but inspirational artworks. Internationally renowned artists, such as James Turrell and David Nash have interacted with the garden to create site-specific permanent work which harmonises with the setting. The land also provides a forum for an ever-changing temporary, or even ephemeral art in all its forms. 2016 brought the arrival of the Restless Temple – ‘Ride the Storm’, the temple blows in the wind on top of the hill at the gardens, an amazing mechanical sculpture.
