Really peaceful and tranquil place to walk around. Picturesque and lots to walk around and see. Free water stations available and cafes on site. Restrooms as well. Pre booking is recommended as there is an entry fee. Recommended if you like views, walks and artwork. Also dog friendly but they need to be on a lead.

Amazing location for someone who loves art and seeing sculptures like me! We came here for a family meet up for my birthday and it certainly was a day to remember, it was lovely to have everyone together ☺️ So much to see!!! I loved the black and white sculptures best 🖤🤍 we have been a few times before as a family and I have always enjoyed it aswell as my family members! The cafe is nice, the drinks were good, I had an iced hazelnut latte and nobody had issues with me eating my packed lunch in their cafe whilst the rest of my family had brought something from the cafe, it was very good 😆 All the artwork is just amazing and I could spend all day there if it didn't close 😂 so much to see and would deffo recommend if you want a day out that involves art and sculptures. A really fab location, we all had a lovely time 🖤🤍 The gift shop is pretty decent too ☺️

Spent the full day here, really enjoyed it. You probably don't realise how far you are walking, or how quickly time is passing, as you explore the park and the various sculptures. The food in the cafe was excellent, home made and reasonably priced too.

Fabulous place, spend the day there and take a picnic or grab some food from the cafe which has lots of delicious cakes and sandwiches. He got a trapper for my 90 year old mum. A brass band was playing, art classes for kids, so much going on. Beautiful grounds, wished we had more time there.

Visited YSP on Bank Holiday Monday as it was the best weather across the weekend. We arrived with our dog only to realise that we had forgotten his lead. We parked up in the overflow carpark as it was busy. The parking sign stated 3 hours free and then charges apply. We popped into the information area and they were fantastic. They were able to lend us a dog lead left by previous visitors to the park. This made our day much more enjoyable. They also confirmed that the parking was free for the day. We then took a walk around the site. It was absolutely beautiful. The juxtaposition of the sculptures against the backdrop of amazing countryside is just a joy. There are 3 main cafes to stop for refreshments and plenty of seating for all. An added bonus was all the wildlife, from rabbits and squirrels to the many different birds who also live in the park and waters. All in all I cannot recommend this place enough. At £9.50 entry for adults it is well worth the money.
