Tips

David Howells

Sigmund Freud Silvas Capitalis (forest head) is a giant timber head located along the Lakeside Way created by American artists Simparch. The head has been conceived as a watcher, an imaginary presence who has observed the passing occupation of the landscape over past millennia and who has also seen how environment has dramatically changed during the last one hundred years with the coming of the forest and more recently the lake.

Great fun giant head to climb in and look out its eyes. There are stairs once you walk into its mouth.
