We travelled here to see the Miro exhibit which was wonderful but other aspects of the day held sway. I loved the Barbara Hepworth 'Family of Man', the touching seated figures and the enormous black hay bale like concrete cyclinders that were at turns solid, smooth yet tactile. The park land is lovely with specimen trees at every turn. I...

Nice park to wander round. Animals (chickens, ducks, geese, swans, sheep, cows) here and there too. Big lake, bridges, cascades, lots of big sculptures to admire. Good cafe with a varied (if sometimes a bit too technical) menu. Worth a visit for a few hours.
Free to get in, but £7.50 to park a car (or a fiver if you're...

I had a goats cheese and beetroot tart with a lovely salad with lots of chicory and beetroot. It was delicious. I ate most of the chips (oops sorry friend!) and they were...

I have spent the last couple of years wanting to go to the YSP but each time we've been nearby it's been chucking it with rain. At last, we found a day when it wasn't raining...too much!
There was a Miro exhibition on which was really interesting and the permanent collection was really great too and we walked our socks...
