About

Lace up your boots this Heritage Open Day and get ready to step through time and all around Yorkshire Sculpture Park’s lakes. Starting at the Bothy Gallery, join our knowledgeable heritage volunteers for a walking tour around YSP’s historic lakes.


Discover the complete history of the creation of the Bretton Estate lakes that still can be enjoyed today at Yorkshire Sculpture Park. Sneak a rare glimpse into the pump house and hear tales of Sir Thomas Wentworth’s boat, the Aurora, which sailed the lakes at the height of the 17th century.


Please note that the walk will include some areas of the Park which can be difficult to access due to uneven terrain and weather-related changes.


Dress for the weather – hopefully sunglasses and hats! Sturdy and comfortable footwear required for a full afternoon of walking and exploring.
