Opening 1st April 2022 Crawick Multiverse is an amazing land art installation to explore and enjoy cosmology, science and art or just to walk your dog in the beautiful landscape. This 55-acre former open cast coal mine has been transformed into a striking landscape of distinctive landforms, each one representing astronomical and cosmological features and theories and is the vision of the late Charles Jencks. Located near Sanquhar in southern Scotland, Crawick Multiverse is a beautiful and fascinating outdoor attraction that offers spectacular views.
DO NOT GO HERE DURING OPENING HOURS! We went here at about 18:00, half the gate was open and we just parked right in and walked about despite a sing saying they were closed. There was 1 other person walking their dog, too. It's a lovely place, but having to pay for entry just to walk around seems like a scam, especially for the price of PS7 per adult! We maybe spent 45 minutes there, took some pictures and had a nice time. Honesly, if the gate was closed, I would recommend just hopping it if you can, but it was proped open by a bike lock. I think it's because they offer overnight parking for campers for PS10 so they need to keep it open to allow them to leave whenever they like.
5 star attraction in Upper Nithsdale We spent a wonderful afternoon at the Multiverse just outside Sanquhar in South West Scotland. Although there was some light drizzle at the start of our visit, the skies soon cleared, and the sun shone through. At only PS7 per adult with a complimentary map and guide book, this is tremendous value for money. Our dog thoroughly enjoyed the day as well. The walks might prove challenging for those with mobility issues and also wheelchair and pushchair users. Certainly a new jewel in the crown for Dumfries and Galloway tourism.
Out of this world landscape features created on an old coal mine. Brilliant concept. Selection of fresh snacks and coffee at the visitors centre. Toilets are clean and information about the mutiverse is presented in several formats. Personally I would like to see the planets of our sun system represented and more plants to complement the features. A few benches scattered across the site will also allow visitors to soak up the stunning views.
We visited here on our way home from the Lake District as I'd heard it was good It was a bit different I guess. It was PS7 per adult, we took the walk to see the sculptures which were interesting enough, as it was a cooler weather day we didn't stop to fully appreciate but I can imagine on a hot day here I would take a picnic and enjoy that while exploring the area. The view over Sanquhar was beautiful The car park can be used for an overnight stay in a motorhome, toilets available which would be great. A small selection of cakes, biscuits, tea or coffee, hot chocolate available from hut The area is used as a music venue at times which definitely would be great.
Brilliant place full of well thought out walks with informative and beautiful art installations that can be walked on and around as well as admired. Be aware not all of it is accessible with pushchairs and wheelchairs and there is a big hill to walk up (well worth getting to the top if you can for the views!)
If you're after something different for a day out then go for a walk around here. It has quite an atmosphere to it. Don't get too excited though, it is just a walk! But it's quite impressive how they have transformed the land here. It was PS7 per adult for entry, there is no need to buy tickets in advance. There are also a few parking spaces reserved for any motorhomes wishing to pay a bit extra to stay the night - no facilities except the toilets which I believe close at around 4pm. The lady on the desk was very friendly and gave us a map, they sell snacks and souvenirs too. Also, very dog friendly.
