    A beautiful setting for a first rate gallery displaying the excellent creations of the local foundry. Set up to create local employment it is also a wonderful, peaceful location for a rest stop, coffee and snacks. Look out for the orange, roadside sign with a...More

    We bought a locally made bronze sculpture from the centre. If you like locally made art then this is a good place to look. They have a lot of locally made bronzes and some from Europe. Even if you do not buy, it is a...More

    Great tour

    Really good place to visit and see the fantastic bronze sculptures and get a detailed tour through the process of making them. Allow at least a couple of hours for a visit, great way to break up the drive.
