Synopsis

This is essentially a guide to the sculpture parks and trails of England. It is not a book on art theory, nor is it just a travel guide. The book is divided up into regions, making it easy to access. It provides information on nearly all the sculpture venues of interest, featuring the best and most well-known and established, while also providing other places of interest for each region. Each feature provides directions of how to get there, along with an overview of the park or trail, and lists sculptures of particular interest and quality. This makes it easy to see which places are good depending on your preferences, and time available. The guide is aimed at the uninitiated in sculpture, or for those that are already interested in art and sculpture but do not know about all the places available to them.
