Art in the Forest
 

Come and see how artists have been inspired by Galloway Forest Park. The sculptures are found throughout the park and are waiting to be discovered; some are sited along popular routes, while others are hidden away. The Artworks range from "Journey" an earthwork labyrinth on the Raiders Road, the "Eye" a spire beside Black Loch and "Quick Water" is set into a lichen-covered drystane dyke beside the rolling Palnure Burn.

How to get there:

Art in the Forest can be started from Glentrool Visitor Centre in Glen Trool which is part of Galloway Forest Park. Newton Stewart is the nearest town or village.

From Newton Stewart take A714 signposted to Girvan for eight miles. Take right turn at Bargrennan signposted Galloway Forest Park. Take next right turn just past Glentrool village signpost to Glentrool Visitor Centre.
