HIMALAYAN GARDEN & SCULPTURE PARK

Set in the beautiful countryside between Masham and Ripon in North Yorkshire, the award-winning Himalayan Garden and Sculpture Park is home to over 90 striking contemporary sculptures, situated within 45 acres of stunning woodland and gardens.

Inspired by the Himalayas, the park is home to one of the North’s largest collection of rhododendrons, azaleas and magnolias, holding a national collection of rhododendrons. The terrain undulates with steep paths in some areas, meandering through 45 acres of woodlands, gardens, an arboretum, and alongside tranquil lakes with a multitude of wildlife. The unusual microclimate of the valley makes it fertile ground for Himalayan plants the rare meconopsis blue poppy.

The extensive sculpture collection is dotted all around the grounds, carefully placed to enhance the surrounding environment, made from all sorts of materials inspired by nature and the landscape. Marble to bronzes, Welsh slate to Zimbabwean stone, pinecones and coconut shells, ceramics, glass and wood, float on water, hang in trees, sparkle in the sunlight, reflect the sky, move in the wind, and surprise and enchant visitors at every turn. During 2024 the garden will be hosting an exciting new exhibition of sculpture from artists from all over the UK, available to view during normal opening.

Discounted group entry, garden tours, catering options and free coach parking are all available.

All complimented by a Garden Tearoom serving homemade seasonal treats.
