Victoria’s Way is a park dedicated to eastern philosophy and art, an unusual and fascinating addition to the attractions of Roundwood Co, Wicklow (Ireland).

Set in 22 acres of serene, undulating greenery, the idea of the park was born to its creator, Victor Langheld, in 1989. In a dream, he saw a park filled with sculptures that appeared to symbolize man’s spiritual journey from a state of non-awakening to enlightenment. Victor was familiar with Hindu philosophy, having travelled widely in India. Armed with sketches of his dream images, he travelled to Mahabalipuram in southern India, famed for its sculpting traditions and commissioned three artisans to translate his vision into reality. The project was completed in twenty years.

Magnificent, black granite sculptures of Ganesha in various poses – dancing, playing musical instruments, reading or reclining.
