Harry Gray's stone lion is a play sculpture which seems to disappear mysteriously into the ground. It was created for the Magic Garden at Hampton Court Palace - an imaginative family play space desgined by landscape architect Robert Myers Associates.
The new garden – located in Henry VIII’s former tiltyard where tudor jousting tournaments took place – brings together the Palace’s rich history and mythology with fun playground structures. It is divided into themed areas, including a tournament ground, wild wood, mythical beasts’ lair, maze-like topiary garden, encampment, and a spiral mount with moat and grotto.
