The beautiful article is written by Becky Jones and explores Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens from her perspective as a visitor, and details the sculptures, planting and curiosity of the environment.
“You are greeted by a beautiful grassy hill, sat atop the hill is a sculpture that looks like a temple. It seems a little out of place perched up on top of the hill but that seems to only strengthen its beauty. You notice other oddities around you, a brick chair, a pyramid of metal. Curiosity piqued, you then head up a woodland trail to the ticket shed so that you can explore the gardens which are full of surprising and often interactive sculptures.”
“A short walk into the woods you come across a stream, surrounded by moss-covered trees and foliage from far away lands. You can almost picture yourself in a fairytale. You can hear the water tumbling over little waterfalls down into the valley, smell the earthy scents of the forest and run your hands through the long grass that is dancing in the breeze. Climbing gently up the hills you come across sculptures, some striking and impressive, others tucked away almost hoping to be found. At the top of the hill you are treated to glorious views stretching from Newlyn to Marazion and what better place to sit and take in mother nature in full glory than the pagoda nestled in the trees.”
“With stunning vistas, magical woodlands, striking sculptures and wide-open fields, Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens is a fantastic destination for lovers of both natural and man-made art. Sitting just outside of Penzance and now housing sculptures that both compliment and stand out from the natural beauty of the area, it is not to be missed!”
