Himalayan Garden and Sculpture Park
The Himalayan Garden and Sculpture Park is an award winning garden near Ripon in North Yorkshire - inspired by what can be found in the Himalayas (plants and otherwise) . It opens in April each year until November, and contains one of the largest collections of rhododendrons, azaleas and magnolias in the north of England. It is situated in a valley of 45 acres of woodland and gardens surrounding 3 tranquil lakes. As well as its stunning plants and trees, you will find 90 permanent sculptures tastefully situated around the park - as well as 60 new temporary sculptures exhibited from a variety of British artists (In 2024).
