About

These four haunting sculptures set in the water fuse horses with oil extraction machinery that are intended to draw attention to our reliance on oil and machinery. The sculptures were crafted by Jason Decaires Taylor and were previously on display in London on the River Thames.Follow the track past the swimming beach for easy parking by the way and access to walking trails round the coast.
