Sculpture Trail
Since 1984 The Forest of Dean Sculpture Trust has raised funds to commission artists to celebrate and help us appreciate and understand the life of the forest. The Trust 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 trail through majestic oaks and towering Scots pine trees.
The most recent addition to the Trail is 'Echo' by Annie Cattrell which was installed in July 2008.
A Sculpture Trail leaflet is available containing details of the sculptures and easy access for £1 from Beechenhurst Lodge or the Forest of Dean's Coleford office, Tel 01594 833057.
