Victoria's Way

Victoria's Way, Meditative sculpture park in Roundwood, Ireland

Victoria's Way is a sculpture park where black granite figures are positioned throughout woodland pathways. Indian artists have carved these works to depict spiritual and philosophical figures from Eastern traditions.

Victor Langheld, born in Berlin, travelled to spiritual sites in India, Thailand, Japan and Sri Lanka before returning to Ireland and building the sculpture park near Roundwood. He designed its sculptures, most carved in black granite by D.V. Murugan of Mamallapuram, Tamil Nadu. The garden closed in 2015, reopened in April 2016 as Victor's Way with age restrictions and a higher fee, and by 2025 was permanently closed.

The garden was designed as a contemplative space for visitors over 28, and the owner closed it in 2015 because day-trippers treated it as a fun park for children. A plaque at the entrance dedicates the park to the cryptographer Alan Turing. Small modern motifs are carved into the works, such as a pint of Guinness beside a Ganesha and a mobile phone tucked into the back of the Fasting Buddha.

The garden is permanently closed as of 2025 and no longer open to visitors, so the paths cannot be walked. It had closed in 2015, then reopened on 15 April 2016 under the name Victor's Way with an age restriction and a higher entrance fee before shutting for good.

The Ganesha statues were carved in Tamil Nadu, each taking five craftsmen a year to complete. Small modern motifs are hidden in the carvings, such as a pint of Guinness beside a Ganesha and a mobile phone tucked into the back of the Fasting Buddha.
