Heights of Abraham – Brand New For 2022
Willow Sculpture Trail
Five beautiful willow sculptures that celebrate the Heights of Abraham’s visitors from the past. A historic trail will be installed in the gardens this Spring.
The five sculptures installed across the hilltop estate aim to bring to life moments in Heights of Abraham history. From a 15th Century farmer and his herd of sheep, to a 17th Century miner and his son taking a break from a hard day in the caverns.
Caroline Gregson represents movement and vitality in her sculptures. It has been observed that ‘you can always see where the sculptures are looking, and what they are thinking.’ The sculptures show a brief pause in time for visitors to reflect upon the historic significance of Masson Hill and think about those who have come before them.
High Falls Film Theatre
Their new film theatre reveals more about this unique and special place and is accessible to all. Located next to the High Falls Gift Shop beyond the dark peak gardens.
With two caverns to explore, guided by cave experts with a passion for geology and social history, the Heights of Abraham is a hub of geological interest. For those who would like to know more about how the caverns were formed, or how the cable cars were built, visit their new High Falls Film Theatre to watch fascinating films created for their audiences this year. The new Cable Car Story film is narrated by the BBC’s Tom Ingle.
The film theatre is accessed via the entrance to the High Falls Rock Shop and is accessible by wheelchair. Films are rotated throughout the day, with subtitles.
