'Extraordinary' park near Edinburgh named among Britain’s best hidden gem attractions
An Edinburgh attraction has been named among the UK’s best that most people haven’t heard of.
It comes as The Telegraph put together a list of hidden gems to visit on your next day trip.
Introducing the feature, the newspaper writes: “Forget the British Museum and explore one of tlesser-known sites on your next domestic break.
“From a Victorian mansion in the Cotswolds and heading under ground in Suffolk to modern art on the outskirts of Edinburgh and celebrity pubs on the Thames, these attractions all come recommended by The Telegraph’s destination experts and span the entire nation.
“They promise not only a queue-free experience, but the chance to explore like a local and discover corners of Britain the crowds often forget – what’s more, some are entirely free to visit.”
Jupiter Artland, an award-winning contemporary sculpture garden located just outside Edinburgh, off the A71 at Wilkieston,features in the list.
Here’s what The Telegraph had to say about Jupiter Artland.
“You’ll find an entirely new perspective on modern art in this extraordinary sculpture park set in a wooded estate on the outskirts of Edinburgh (take Bus X23 to the gates).
“Moving around, on and through works of world-class artists like Anish Kapoor, Antony Gormley and Ian Hamilton Finlay is uniquely absorbing, with children (and adults) welcome to get up close, touch, even swim in a work of art in the Joana Vasconcelos Gateway Pool.”
