“The sculptures are displayed among a variety of scenes,” says the exhibition trail’s curator, Orlando Compton. “We have two woodland areas, a river area and an orchard area, and they are positioned strategically along the walking route.”Newby Hall is the family home of his parents, Richard and Lucinda Compton.
“We really wanted to give, not just a reason for people to get out but also a flavour of Yorkshire, and Yorkshire has quite a strong representation this year, which is nice.

“I chose to make another one as I wanted to show the immense physical power and presence to a greater extent. And create the most anatomically true form possible using horseshoes, as it’s a brilliant link. Contemporary equine and wildlife artist Freddy Paske, who is artist in residence for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, has created The Flying Emerald, a bronze sculpture inspired by the kingfisher .
The whole Compton family is in the arts. Younger brother Ludovic is an art insurer, and younger sister Sasha is an artist and designer.Newby Hall is a business and has to pay its way.
