An amazing place. Great for kids as its not the longest walk. Brilliant sculptures and I still notice new things on every visit. Great views over the reservoirs too and the walk through the village is like stepping onto the set of emmerdale.

A great walk and an interesting selection of sculptures, some no doubt more attractive to so.e than others. The extra story told through some adds an extra special delight for kids, plenty to explore and find hidden look up and down. Park in Barley car park 1, opposite the Pendle Inn and walk from there around 20 to 30 mins. A not overly strenuous but sloped walk
We visited this place at first weekend of January as it has been recommended to us by a friend. We left the car at spacious car park, pay to honesty box, there is a cafe and toilets facilities which is very helpful if you travel with children. The cafe staff is helpful and serves a good quality food, freshly made and not too expensive. The walk up to the beginning of the forest and the trail isn't difficult and takes you through quite road next to two lakes. Once in the forest there is a steep walk uphill so be aware, kids may complain and get discouraged quickly;) adults may find it a little difficult too ;) it makes you breathe heavily;) once you get through that it is easy going through the forest. We had a small map with us which is a part of a leaflet, you can find it on the website and you can print it for your use. It comes handy as kids can follow it as a treasure map/hunt. The sculptures are beautiful, but if it is wet and muddy you could do with a pair of wellies to get closer to some of them;) it doesn't take long to walk round, maybe an hour if you stop to take photos, some of the sculpture have a small description, good for storytelling for kids;) Overall, a good day out and we will definitely come back when the weather gets nicer ;)
Car park cafe is a little pricey but nice area and trails.
Great sculpture trail. Well sign posted and lots to look for. For younger children take some paper and wax crayons to do rubbings. Lovely view from a clearing of the reservoir.
