Historic Lakes and Woodland at Yorkshire Sculpture Park
This summer, visitors can discover some of YSP’s hidden secrets as historic lakes and woodland are opened to the public for the very first time in the Park’s long history. Extensive work, funded by Natural England, has reinstated long-forgotten footpaths and bridges, and restored delightful features including a Greek-style Summer House, a now landlocked Boathouse, Stepping Stones and a magical Shell Grotto.
