We went to the Yorkshire Sculpture park as well today, we've been before but haven't been for a few years. If you're ever in the area & like Henry Moore & similar sculptures this is a stunning place to visit in a beautiful setting & it free (£4 parking). At the moment there's an exhibition of work by Jaume Plensa who does very large public sculptures (all the heads & figures in the photos) indoors & out. The Moores are scattered throughout the landscape with sheep grazing amongst them & there are also some planted garden areas, a nice cafe & shop.

There were two Henry Moore's in the country in South West Scotland. I just love his sculptures and I like these too.
