Tout Quarry sculpture park

A wander through an old quarry full of carvings, free, on the top of Portland.

GentleSteps or rough ground

An old stone quarry on the west side of Portland turned into a sculpture park, with dozens of carvings hidden among the rock, including an Antony Gormley. Free to enter. The paths are loose stone and uneven, so sensible shoes, and it is not one for wheels. Allow an hour to hunt for the sculptures, more if you keep finding them.
