About YSP Patrons and Friends: The Bridges of Bretton Heritage Tour

Join YSP’s Heritage Volunteers and Head of Estates, Mark Chesman, for a guided tour of the Bridges of Bretton. Discover their design, function, role within the park’s heritage, and how they are cared for today.

The walking tour will begin at the YSP Centre Information Desk and will last approximately two hours. During this time, we will explore several bridges located within Bretton’s historic park and garden.

The route follows mostly established paths over a distance of around 5 km, with some areas of uneven and rough ground. Suitable footwear is recommended. 

Please note: This event is available exclusively to YSP Friends and Patrons. Maximum 2 tickets per individual membership.

    Marialuisa Tadei: Octopus

    Octopus (Polipo) is formed of hand-cut, coloured glass tiles which are carefully pieced together over the concrete and steel structure. It is a key example of Tadei’s use of mosaic to elevate everyday forms into a more ethereal realm.

    Heather Peak and Ivan Morison: Silence – Alone in a World of Wounds

    Silence – Alone in a World of Wounds is installed alongside Upper Lake within a stand of birch trees and aims to create solitary communion with the natural world. Responding to the question 'Can art save us from extinction?', the artists developed a sculptural space made of natural materials including timber and thatch. It acts as an extended open pavilion and becomes a framework and quiet space set within nature.
