The sculpture is by ex-resident Alan Mantle (originally from Arthog) and contains forty-one figures. It's the first bespoke public artwork ever to be installed in Dolgellau. It is carved from a fallen Sweet Chestnut tree from near Craig yr Aderyn (Bird Rock).

The sculpture is really worth a visit, as is the wonderful town of Dolgellau.
