This phenomenal work of stained glass hangs above the trail, creating a sublime window into the cathedral of the forest itself. When the sun catches it, the effect is fantastic.

Echo Sculpture – Forest of Dean Sculpture Trail

Gathering Art Installation
Highlight • Structure
Julian worked with local school children at Heart of the Forest School, and included their ideas for incorporating tactile touch points, reflective surfaces and colours into the final piece. Alongside the smooth surfaces of the fungi, texture panels are hidden on some of the sculptures for people to find, which enhances the experience of the artwork for visually impaired visitors.

The Iron Road Sculpture by Keir Smith
Highlight • Structure
It’s a cool sculpture - great for concentrating hard and running over! Here’s what the Forest of Dean gang say about it:
‘Twenty evenly spaced railway sleepers on the gentle curve of a disused railway line bring the spirit of the Forest’s industrial past to life. Skilfully carved out of the wood are poetic images of natural or industrial life — a feather, a leaf, a wheel, a factory or a cloud. The jar with water pouring out refers to the stream running under the embankment. The wood is a Eucalyptus called Jarrah, and the sleepers were obtained from the London Underground.’
Love it! Take the time to check out each individual sleeper carving.
