About 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, to the "Eye" a spire beside Black Loch, and "Quick Water", set into a lichen-covered drystane dyke beside the rolling Palnure Burn.
