Description
Toby’s Drove Arch fold and shepherd’s hut
MYD1469 (c) YDNPA, 2023
As part of his long running Cumbrian Sheepfolds project, the artist Andy Goldsworthy erected and dismantled a red sandstone arch on 23 sheepfolds along the drove roads between Dumfriesshire and Lancashire. He chose as its final resting place a derelict shepherd’s hut with sheepfold attached near Ingleton. The stone arch was erected for the final time in 2002 and can now be seen through a viewing window in the wall of the restored hut.
