For our last day in Coverack, we decided to see if we could find this hidden sculpture park that our hostess had told us about several days ago. Both of us were pretty worn out from all the hiking we've been doing, not to mention the driving to get where we are going. It's a constant state of alert, and just wears you out!

As it turns out, it was built by the same monks who built the one in France! And that explains why the names ...
