A Trip To A North Devon Attraction

This one is at least 20ft high!

Broomhill Sculpture Garden, near Barnstable in north Devon is a worthwhile trip out as we discovered recently. It is a hotel where a variety of sculptures can be found dotted around the informal gardens.

The garden is well managed in a subtle way where wild flowers (some may say weeds!) mingle with shrubs and perennials, to great effect. The garden is surrounded by woodland and bordered by a stream which feeds various ponds.

It really is a relaxing place and even though it was fairly busy, you could find a quiet spot to enjoy the art and the garden.

   

It isn't the easiest place to get about if you have difficulty walking, due to the natural slope of the land and the various steps but you can still see  many of the sculptures with ease.

If you are feeling rich, most of the sculptures are for sale, sadly I dont have the money or the room for any, so my photos will have to do!
     

Another attraction here is the cafe. We had to stop for a rest on the terrace with a pot of tea and two rather large slices of chocolate brownie. Would love the recipe!

Have a look at the Sculptures page for more pics.
