Grizedale Forest Sculpture, Ambleside

The forest of Grizedale is a well-established 'art in the environment' centre, which has been commissioning artists for the past 25 years. There are currently over 90 sculptures to be seenand up to 10 artists in residence every year to ensure there are always new works in progress.

Grizedale is situated in the heart of the Lake District and is bordered by Coniston Water to the west and Windermere to the east. Managed by the Forsetry Commission, the forest is made up of semi-natural deciduous woodland and soft wood plantations. There are over 50 miles of tracks for walkers, mountain bikers and natural history enthusiasts. The 6,000 acres includes a wide range of terrain and is home to deer, red squirrels and many woodland birds.

The centre has car parking, café, gift shop, art gallery, playground and mountain bike hire. Trail maps are available to help you find your way around and see the sculptures you are interested in, while an indoor gallery holds temporary exhibitions of recent work. It is free to visit the forest though there is a car parking charge.
