We were looking for something to do which was different and had a try at this interesting sounding place. Indeed a lot to see but the layout was not that inspiring and we found it a little dull after a while. Others might find it more interesting if they like viewing numerous weird and wonderful creations!

I visited with my mum and two month old baby in a pushchair. Despite having an off road pushchair the trails are far too difficult - quite narrow with lots of steps which seemed mostly unnecessary. We had to give up after 20 minutes when we got to a bridge that was too narrow to get the buggy across. It would have been nice to have some warning on their website or for the person on reception to have told us about the terrain beforehand ! On the plus side they did give us our money back and told us they do have plans to make it more accessible.

The Sculpture Park is located opposite the Pride of the Valleys pub and is an odd place; beautifully situated on a hill side near the Devil's Jumps and boasting a pond, it offers the opportunity to wander around wooded paths punctuated with sculptures which are mostly for sale. It is like an outdoors museum or art gallery. The place is happy to have children along and offers a stimulating hour or so. After that, off to the pub, once frequented by David Lloyd George and a quick drink or meal.

I visited here on a Sunday having found out about it randomly on a photography website. Our visit was a rather spur of the moment one as it was an unusually sunny Sunday for early March. It was a great day out and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the trip - and will definitely be returning! You need to allow plenty of time to get around and see all the marvellous artworks (we had 3.5hrs and didn't quite cover it all!)The setting of the park itself is amazing - beautiful gardens, arboretum and water garden setting. The guided trails are really well planned and thought out - a 2 mile long guided track with a really varied mix of work - from contemporary, modern steel works to "junk" sculptures - its a pleasant walking route - but not for anyone with limited walking ability as there are a number of steps, hills and slopes to navigate. When you arrive, at reception you are given a guide book laying out the trail routes and information about all the pieces, the artists, the materials used and also how much they cost (most are a pretty penny, but is interesting to look at the prices). There are no toilet facilities nor refreshments available to purchase but you can find plenty of stopping points if you wish to take your own food/drink. There is a wonderful pub & restaurant opposite the park - The Bel and the Dragon - which is a great place for lunch/dinner and a post-walk drink.The only 1 teeny tiny thing that let it down was the grumpy man at reception; other than that I could not fault it - and especially for the nominal entry fee :)

This sculpture park has a really good mix of work, set out throughout the gardens and hidden away in the shrubbery along a two mile track through the trees. Lots of sculptures to suit all tastes and certainly worth a visit. Allow plenty of time to see everything.

We visited here and it is a very interesting and different place, had a nice walk round looking at all the sculptures. You get a guide book with information about them and also how much they cost, most of them are really expensive but is interesting to look at the prices. Great to spend an hour or two wandering round. There are no toilet facilities or food/drinks to purchase so best to take your own. If you fancy a drink afterwards there is the wonderful Bel and the Dragon opposite.

The park has a great selection and diverse range of sculptures. Some pieces are really inspiring in their size and detail. Highly recommend going when the weather is bright and sunny. A great place to pass away your day.

My 11 year old son did not looked best pleased this morning when we said we were going to a sculpture park, it clearly wasn't going to involve football, so how could it be fun, however I am pleased to say I think he had a great time. Once you pay at reception you are given a catalogue of the works on display, 700 pieces, catalogued to say who created it, what it's called, what it is made of and if it's for sale, it's price. My son took control of the catalogue and frankly came alive, he loved to look most of the pieces up, guess the name, and get us to guess the price, and also direct us around the park so that we saw the pieces in order and didn't get lost. At the end the lady in reception asked him of his favourite pieces, and I am glad to say he named a few, so it did leave its mark, and I would definitely go back in the summer and take friends with children.

two miles of winding tracks through the trees of Churt with some amazing sculptures and scenery. Well thought out, and great for taking the younger ones around. This is my second visit and thoroughly enjoyed it, and after your walk you can enjoy a coffee or beer in the Bel and Dragon which is oppositeWell worth a visit

We've done other sculpture parks, but this was very different. There are some seven hundred plus exhibits, most of which are available for purchase. The artworks are set out in coniferous woodland, with paths following different routes marked by coloured arrows. Some of the paths are quite steep, so might be challenging for pushchairs, prams and wheelchairs. There are some seats along the paths, and visitors are encouraged to stop and take in the vistas. The site also lacks the usual visitor facilities, which could present a problem for some. That being said the Sculpture Park is definitely worth a visit, with some really splendid (and expensive) sculptures. We should have given ourselves more time, as we underestimated the scale of the park, so only managed to see half of what was there. This is not so bad, as we will definitely make a return visit and will know what to expect. At that time we will split the visit, taking in a lunch at the nearby Bel & Dragon inn.

Lots to see (700 plus sculptures). Overlapping and criiss crossing paths make it a bit claustrophobic. Loved the variety and interest in such a wide range of art work but only very basic information about each piece.

This is a great place and is a must see if you are in Farnham. Loads of sculptures set in a huge woodland, you can easily spend a couple of hours or more as if I can remember correctly there are over 600 of them to see. There is a play area for kids as well and some sculptures are real looking and quite funny especially the skeletons playing ringa ringa roses. Highly recommended and it's very reasonably priced too.

Such an amazing & vast array of sculptures in this great park - so great to find such a creative place out in the sticks amongst nature. Even the layout of the park, with weaving paths forking off in all directions surrounded by green, inspire you and create a sense of excitement about what sculpture you will come across next (though you don't have to wait long as the sculptures are everywhere!!). I visited with my partner & mum on my birthday, and it was such an inspiring, peaceful yet fun place to spend an afternoon. There are a few picnic benches for you to have lunch surrounded by tall trees & the wonderful sculptures, which was great. Very reasonable entry price. Still can't believe how many different style sculptures they have. Such a gem!! I will be going back in the summer.

I visited The Sculpture Park with my husband. We were pleasantly surprised by the amount and the quality of the sculptures. I was very impressed with the surrealism and the atmosphere of the park. It was like walking through a scene of Alice in Wonderland mixed with Salvador Dali. Very impressed and will visit again.
