It was a lovely day for a walk in the forest, and the sculptures are interesting. We saw some that were there years ago, but many are more recent, and others have been reclaimed by the forest.
This is called ‘Mycelium’ and has lights running along, to represent the fungi in the ground
This echoes the shaft of a mine, and the fish shape alludes to being between the Rivers Severn and Wye
This was a dome in 1986, representing charcoal
This tree has a long branch
