Picture gallery - Art in the 'Woodlands'

Artists' pieces make the woodland a special place to be. Below are a few examples of features throughout the site and are well worth discovering. Wherever possible materials are sourced on site but in all cases the local schools and community groups have played an essential part in their design and creation.

Butterfinch Bridge:
Designed by local artist Tracey Cartledge and manfucatured in Luke Lister's Stockport foundry. Rangers Pete and Steph got the opportunity for some hands on work in its creation.
