Forest of Dean Sculpture Trail

Great facilities. Lovely cafe, clean toilets, reasonable car parking charges, which you can pay for contactless by the cafe. The walk itself is very pleasant, well sign posted with the option to take shortcuts if it's too long. Sculptures are lovely & if you buy the map from the cafe for £1 you get information on each one. It was like a mini treasure hunt finding each sculpture. The stained glass window was lovely. My only criticism was after the final sculpture the walk back to the car park was somewhat bland. Overall a great couple of hours. Recommended

Lovely meandering walk not too challenging at all and great for photographers. Wear decent shoes take a drink and enjoy.
The paths are very well kept and signposted and the artwork is an added delight

Refreshing, plenty of space to walk around without bumping into anyone. Seen some cattle grazing on the grass sitting under the sun enjoying themselves. The sculpture trail didn't have much sculpture due to it being decommissioned and Beechenhurst cafe was closed on the weekend which seemed sad as there were a lot of people around looking to get in. Loss of business for owners and a need for a cuppa or ice cream. Good thing the toilets were open though 😅

Sculptures made it that bit more interesting for kids. There is also other kids trail. areas of the park can be quite if you go off the main trail which can be bit busy.We popped into Speech house on route for Jubilee celebration which was fun! Cafe and toilet, good for families to cycle too

Worth a visit. There’s a large car park with easy access to a rather expensive cafe. The cafe provides everything you might like for trip out. Toilets available too. From the cafe you can take a few different sculpture trail walks as shown in the photo. These vary from approx 45 mins to a few hours depending on if you want to see everything.

The sculpture trail itself is quite old but new additions to it have been added in over the last few years and a few older ones have disappeared.

Very nice walk through the woods with nicely laid out route and the sculptures were very interesting stop off points. We only did the first 12 (about 5km) due to the little one with us. Was shame as the stain glass window is at the end on the main route which is 7km long.

A really lovely walk. It’s easy to find via sat nav and the car park was plenty big enough.

There’s a cafe serving hot drinks and food, clean toilets and a children’s play area. I would recommend picking up a map for £1, as it’s easy to keep track of your progress and it is also interesting reading about the different sculptures.

There are signs along the walk, and there are shortcuts to take if you don’t want to see everything. The entire walk took us around 3 hours.

The sculptures are lovely, some better than others. The stained glass window was my favourite. After you see the final sculpture, the walk back to the car park is pretty long and boring which is the only negative. Overall a brill afternoon out!

Poured with rain and still enjoyable walk and worth it. The sculptures amazing and signage great. Definitely download the trail map on your mobile before you go. Car park fees weren’t working for cash, however you can use the Ringo car parking App or pay via credit card in cafe. Well worth it.
