The Yorkshire Sculpture Park (YSP) is an enormous 500-acre open air gallery that truly highlights the beautiful relationship between art and nature.
Where better to explore stunning English countryside and discover monumental sculpture than at Yorkshire Sculpture Park. Whether you’re a Henry Moore fan or enjoy whiling away your time in a James Turell contemplative light installation, YSP is the ideal location for an art day trip. As these photographs reveal, who needs white-walled galleries when you have such verdant landscape.

Born in the heart of London, Freire's been surrounded by art since childhood. From being mesmerised by Fra Angelico's frescos in Florence to experiencing Dali's Mae West room in Caduceus, Freire's extensive travels instilled a love of the arts. After studying painting she worked for David Bowie's, Bowieart and began to write for the BBC, Bon and Dazed & Confused. She curated the Converse x Dazed Emerging Artists Award and was one of the first cohort to graduate from the Royal College of Art's Critical Writing in Art & Design MA. When not at an art opening, she's excited to bring her global art discoveries to the Culture Trip's readers.
