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.
The park was established in 1989 following two decades of partnership between Irish and Indian craftspeople. This collaboration brought together cultural and artistic traditions to create a space for spiritual connection.
The sculptures serve as focal points for quiet reflection, with visitors spending time in front of each figure to contemplate their meaning. Local and visiting spiritual seekers often use the grounds for meditation and personal exploration.
The paths are open year-round for quiet walking and can be explored at your own pace. The woodland trails are generally easy to navigate and allow you to move freely between the sculptures.
Among the traditional spiritual figures stands a skeletal Buddha and an enormous stone finger emerging from the ground. These striking works surprise visitors and break from the expected forms of religious sculpture.
