A personal favourite of mine, this can still be found in the High Bowkerstead area down in the southern end of the forest, to this day, not far from the summit of Brock Crag. Consisting of six stone mounds of varying heights, lending the spot an air of mysticism, this piece was built by Japanese artist Kimio Tsuchiya in 1991 and has barely changed since (although the smallest one has vanished). Tsuchiya said of 'Stone Forest' at the time:

​

"The stone forms the ground.

The ground supports the tree.

The tree creates fresh water.

The water gives life.

The man becomes one and co-exists with the continuity and the balance of nature. The nature becomes the spring of man. The sculpture stands motionless, reflects the time and the silent voice."

​

The felling of the surrounding trees has done little to lessen the piece's impact, and now, as with the other sculptures which have seen the flow of time manifested in the woods around them, 'Stone Forest' is being engulfed by new trees which are slowly but surely growing around it.

​

As for Brock Crag itself, this is the third-biggest hill in Grizedale, reaching 682 feet or 208 metres. It's hard to tell precisely where the highest point is, but 'Stone Forest' is just about the nearest sculpture to it. The Silurian Way used to run right over the top of Brock Crag, but nowadays it drops down towards the Dale Park valley instead. The summit can no longer be reached, or at least not without crashing through some serious undergrowth.
