The 2005 sculpture trail

Wood carvings

Chainsaw sculptures carved for the estate in 2005. Many have since rotted or been removed — these are the survivors still worth seeking out on a walk.

The Fish wood carving

The Fish

Sits at the far end of Coppice Pond — sometimes looking a little grumpy.

The Monk wood carving

The Monk

Still startles walkers at the far side of Wood Bottom Pond (now more bog than pond).

The Heron wood carving

The Heron

At the edge of the island in Coppice Pond. He's lost part of his body and vegetation half-hides him — binoculars help.

Old Father Time wood carving

Old Father Time

The original lost his scythe and was stolen; the replacement, carved in situ, still stands.

The Chain wood carving

The Chain

Carved from a single long tree trunk in one piece. Look up into the trees above the parking opposite Coppice Pond.

The Spiral wood carving

The Spiral

On the path up towards the golf course from Lady Blantyre's Rock — through the gate on the right, laid on the ground.

The Owl wood carving

The Owl

Hides in the ferns overlooking the bottom car park, on the fenced path towards Betty's Lodge.
