Stanmer Park Nature Reserve — Attraction in England

I took my teenage nephew (who is seasoned in such outdoor pursuits as the duke of Edinburgh award and hiking) to Stanmer Park on a cold sunday afternoon and we were deeply disturbed by the strange goings-on that we witnessed. The eerily unfinished Grand Design left me wondering where Kevin McCloud is and if he's okay.
