Activity Detail Page

Since 1984 The Forest of Dean Sculpture Trust has raised funds to commission artist to celebrate and help us appreciate and understand the life of the forest. It works in partnership with the Forestry Commission which maintains the sculptures and trail. The sculptures are inspired by the forest - its trees, wildlife and industrial past. They are mostly constructed from natural material from the Dean - wood, stone and iron. The sculptures are interspersed along the a trail through majestic oaks and towering Scots pine trees. A Sculpture Trail leaflet is available containing details of the sculptures for £1 from Beechenhurst Lodge or the Forest of Dean's Coleford office, Tel 01594 833057.
