A topiary serpent in holly snakes through the watery Serpent Garden, revealing a different water sculpture hidden in each of its coils.

The water sculptures have been created by William Pye, one of the world’s leading water sculptors, who brings art and science together in his work. Each one is made from mirror-polished stainless steel.

The Vortex is one of seven water features that are part of the serpent garden.   I do have a really good video of this which I will share with you later, I need to work out how to convert the file format so I can upload it to YouTube ;-)

I will post some pictures of more of the water features in the next few days.
