The Haliburton Sculpture Forest is in a park near the village of Haliburton in the Haliburton Highlands of Ontario. It is an outdoor collection of sculptures by Canadian & international artists.
We got a brochure with a forest map which was very helpful. This directed us to where the sculptures were so we didn't miss any.
Here is some of the pictures I took of the sculptures.
inspired by the Welsh legend of Gelert & Prince Llywelyn 2011
