The showcase for sculpture in stone. This summer exhibition, in an exquisite Cotswold setting, shows stone sculpture by Britain's leading stone sculptors, including Peter Randall-Page, Emily Young, Bridget McCrum, David Worthington, Luke Dickinson, Dominic Welch, Anthony Turner, Richard Aumonier, Emma Maiden, Nigel Watson, Mat Chivers, Paul Vanstone, Jon Edgar and Pam Foley. We are open for a month in mid-summer (June 10th-July 9th this year) and we invite visitors to linger over their visit, indulging all their senses. Emily Young says: "The stones seem to exist in an utterly different way to us, so slow, so silent and so long-lived; but to me, they’re kinds of ancestors." Peter Randall-Page says: "When you’re moving across the surface of stone, it’s akin to moving through a landscape; it’s like walking – your body is kept busy in quite a rhythmic way."
Location: UK (The Cotswolds, near Oxford).

The Route of the Faces is a petreo world where faces carved in rocky walls create a mystical atmosphere between pine groves and millenarian rocks. The sculptures have been distributed in a natural zone located in the environs of the villa of Buendía (River basin), Spain. To borders of the marsh of Buendía thus we found the Route of the Faces, call by the amount of faces, of different forms, that they are carved on the limestone rock. In order to arrive at them it is necessary to mainly follow the indicative signals from this conquense municipality and, to observe with thoroughness, because some, are located in the most recondite places. Buendía counts on innumerable attractive, among them, of the Car of the Guadiela river with the Hermitage of Our marsh and the environs, the Museum Lady Abandoned, where diverse aquatic sports practice. The Town belongs to River basin, province of emblematic places, many of which they are gathered in this page and others can be visited through the connections that appear in her. For the people who wants to see the scultures we are in Buendia (Cuenca SPAIN) The site is called "Ruta de las Caras"

Naturally regenerated since quarrying ceased nearly a century ago, Tout is the most magical and dramatic of the few hand-worked quarries that remain on Portland. Cut into the clifftop high over Lyme Bay, with views along Chesil Beach to the Devon coast, it is now a labyrinth of overgrown gullies and pathways that twist and turn, revealing sculpture either carved into the rockface or constructed from shale within the quarry landscape itself. This man-made landscape has inspired the diversity of sculptural concepts which can be found in the quarry today. The sculptures provide vantage points that allow the visitor to see where sculpture, geology and quarrying history meet.
Location: UK (Portland, Dorset).
