Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden

I knew little of this sculptor when I visited and was ultimately transported by this little place. I read all about the lady in the room downstairs, which was very interesting. Having gone up to her work, I tried to follow the meanings in the book of her work and was totally lost. I put down the guide and just wandered into her garden on a sunny day. I took in all those fabulous sculptures once in the garden and loved them. I only took these 4 photos, I recommend just sitting and enjoying the garden. I could have spent hours in this amazing place. A great place to write.

One of my favourite places in Cornwall. I would happily stay in this garden for hours either sketching, wandering or just sitting and soaking it all in. The staff are always pleasant, knowledgeable and approachable.

We had an absolutely fab visit to the Barbara Hepworth museum. The garden in particular is stunning and it was great to see where she worked and loved and learn about her life. We attended a talk which was really informative and we found the staff generally enthusiastic, friendly and incredibly helpful. We came from the Tate and borrowed a wheelchair to use at both sites and to get from one to the other. The staff really couldn't be more helpful if you have a disability. It's a little difficult to get around the site if you're a wheelchair user as there are stairs so you would need a companion or assistance. I recommend calling them before you go to talk about your requirements. It is well worth the visit.

A stunning location and thought provoking sculptures. The museum is in Barbara Hepworth’s own home so it was fascinating to see.

Really lovely way to spend a an hour or so. Great bit of history and lovely sculptures and gardens.
