Have you been to Little Sparta? I saw that Little Sparta was a big influence for the couple that created Jupiter Artland (and they have works by Ian Hamilton Finlay) - we went just before it closed for the winter and I thought it was incredible:

Can't wait to go back!




I had not heard of Little Sparta. It looks fantastic. Thank you! I will be visiting this summer for sure.


I didn't think I was going to like Jupiter Artland - I wouldn't describe myself as a fan of most modern art but I absolutely loved it.

Little Sparta is on another level though - the whole place is a work of art.

I'm also keen to go to the Garden of Cosmic Speculation - but it's not open very often:

I've been the Jupiter twice and enjoyed both times. I'd known about Goldsworthy and he's why I went in the first place but have gained appreciation for others like Jencks etc.

The Garden of Cosmic Speculation, had me at its name. I'll be going along there to. Cheers, pal. Thank you very much.
