Sculpture Park (1 mile away)
Once, one of the 80 working quarries on the island were originally worked by hand, from around 1750, “by family quarry gangs” who owned strips of the land called “Lawnsheds”. Using the natural joints, they worked extremely hard to extract the best stone, Whitbed and Basebed, from 30 to 60 feet down.
Tout quarry is a unique place where sculptures are carved into a landscape left by the quarrymen and mellowed by nature. Searching For them will help you explore all the interesting parts of the quarry. Discover 60 ‘hidden’ sculptures and learn along the way about rocks, history & wildlife of this fascinating place. There are several sculptures by famous people from their early days of working with the medium of stone.
