Tout Quarry Arts & craft

Tout Quarry is an abandoned stone quarry which has now been turned into a stone sculpture park.

An unexpected outburst of artistic brilliance in a redundant industrial landscape. The quarry is used by stonemasons and sculptors to learn their carft and show it off in the open air. There are dozens of sculptures, many carved into the living rock and the paths through the old quarry reveal new works at almost every turn. You can also see where students learn thier craft and many half finished sculptures can be found here and around the rest of the quarry. The entrance to the site is unpreposessing, but persevere, it's well worth it, and it's free!
