Mamhead Park

Happy Halloween from the Park!

The eerie sound of the magnificent, ancient park at night is Halloween indeed.

A night at the famed Devon park surrounding LettsRetreat is quite an experience. The rewilding project has amassed, among others, 12 recorded species of bats and an amazing collection of owls. Pretty much all you need this time of year!

Then there are the smugglers tunnels that still operate down to the sea. And the timeless architecture, some of it even harking back to the Domesday Book. We dare you to spend a Halloween night in the park. Badgers, foxes and black fallow stags to boot! Hopefully this collection of photographs is the next best thing.

The above images were developed by two exciting new southwest light artists collaborating with Robert Marshall MRSS on an exciting new project at the sculpture park.
