A really enjoyable visit to Tout Quarry Sculpture Park<\/a>. Created in 1983 when the former quarry was turned into a sculpture park and now managed by Portland Sculpture & Quarry Trust many of the original site specific sculptures can still be discovered. With courses in stone carving, artists in residence and various workshops great to see the traditional crafts that helped shape the area being preserved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
