The easiest from Yorkshire are probably the various Sheepfolds in
Cumbria. Hopefully this link will take you to various relevant
websites:

I haven't been to Grizedale Forest for a while (also in Cumbria),
which isn't much of an additional trip if you've already made it to
the Sheepfolds. So I don't know what condition the three big works
there are in, but they were certainly well worth visiting when I last
went (oh, about ten years ago). I'll be back there next summer and
will no doubt have a look.

There are surviving works in Durham and at Gateshead, although I don't
think I'd make a special trip to see either.

Various other existing works can be found from
http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/andygoldsworthy/links, follow the
sections for Works-England, and Works-Scotland, if you want to find
those closest to you. There are several pieces at the Royal Museum in
Edinburgh, all of which are worth seeing albeit a bit 'decorative'
(three of them are basically displayed as backdrops for the museum
exhibits), and seeing these can be easily combined with a visit to the
two sculptures at the Royal Botanic Garden, also in Edinburgh. The
Royal Museum is well worth visiting in its own right, it has an
excellent collection and is an interesting building as well (most
recently seen on TV a week or two ago hosting the 2005 Stirling Prize
for architecture).

Dumfries and Galloway is also worth considering although you'll need a
bit more effort: the first of four striding arches is complete at
Cairnhead, there's a cone at Penpont, a slate wall slowly decaying
next to Scaur Water (and probably a few others there too), a cone at
Dumfries arts centre, and Touchstone North on a farm north of Penpont.
Some of these are easy to find, others will need a good OS map and a
bit of time poring over the readily available Goldsworthy books. There
are other things worth looking for in the vicinity e.g. some Henry
Moore sculptures half way up a hillside in the middle of nowhere ...

Does anyone have any other suggestions?
