A private estate · Devon, England
Open-air art,
privately kept.
A private sculpture park set within Exeter’s Capability Brown gardens at Mamhead Park South — a hundred-acre rewilded estate of cascading water gardens, ancient trees and endless views to the sea.
A refreshing take
01 — Introduction
A refreshing new take on the private sculpture park — a contemporary collection at home in a Capability Brown landscape.
At any given moment more than forty open-air sculptures and installations sit quietly amongst the trees, cascade gardens and Capability Brown lake. Established and emerging artists — held as a private collection by the owners, not a public park.
Around the gardens, a hundred acres of rewilded parkland flow to the horizon. Wild black fallow deer and badger-faces move through wildflower meadows, driving the quiet forces of habitat regeneration.
Three ways in
By invitation only. Never open to the public.
Devon Sculpture Park is a private residence, garden and collection. A small number of guests are welcomed each year through three doors.

“It feels as wild and dynamic as the African bush — only with sea air, cascade gardens and bronze figures amongst the oaks.”

The Collection
02 — Forty works, quietly held
A private collection you’ll rarely see reproduced.
The collection moves with the seasons. Some works remain in place for years; others are commissioned, borrowed or retired. It is curated for the pleasure of the family and their guests — not for public turnstiles. Access is reserved solely for the residents and guests.
