Forest 2011 - 3 Planet

Forest 2011 - 3 Planet is a contemporary art gallery tucked away in Warwickshire, just outside Kenilworth. It's the sort of place that rewards curiosity - the kind of venue that doesn't advertise itself loudly but attracts serious art enthusiasts and anyone after something different from the usual tourist circuit.

The gallery itself works with installations and pieces that explore environmental and conceptual themes, though specifics on current exhibitions aren't widely documented. What matters is that it's genuinely worth a detour if you're into modern art and willing to dig a bit deeper than the high street galleries. You're looking at maybe an hour or two here, depending on how absorbed you get.

It works well as part of a longer Warwickshire loop. You're close to Kenilworth itself, which has Kenilworth Castle if you fancy something more traditional, and the caravan parks nearby - Broadwell Woods, Somers Wood, and the others - sit within easy reach of both the gallery and the broader attractions of the region. Broadwell Woods is barely 1.8 miles away, making it a sensible base if you're planning to explore the area properly.

Bring the family and you might find it slow depending on the kids' patience for contemporary work, but for couples or solo travellers serious about art, it's a proper find. Ring ahead before you go though - details are scarce online, and you'll want to confirm opening hours and whether there's a charge. Worth the effort.
