This ranch land filled with sheep that the owner decided to add sculptures to and is a very beautiful walk. Granted you end up driving through sheep pastures to get there (the nice farmer who was mowing the berms was very helpful in letting us get by in our trusty rented Vauxhall on the one lane road bordered by dry stone fences).
