Explore 100 cast iron figures dotting a coastal landscape, facing the horizon in this monumental outdoor art installation spanning 1.75 square kilometres.

Another Place is a large-scale public art installation by renowned sculptor Antony Gormley, located in Cuxhaven, Germany. The work consists of one hundred solid cast iron bodyforms arranged along the coast and extending one kilometre out towards the horizon, all facing seaward. Created in 1997, the pieces are positioned between 50 and 250 metres apart along the tideline, occupying an area of 1.75 square kilometres. This unique outdoor installation offers visitors an immersive experience in contemporary art set within a natural coastal environment. Families can explore the expansive landscape, discovering the cast iron figures as they walk through the Wattenmeer area. The installation is free to access and dog-friendly, making it suitable for visitors of all ages. The work creates a meditative atmosphere, inviting contemplation about the relationship between human form, nature, and time as the figures face eternally towards the horizon.

Interesting to see. The day we went it was hot and sunny so very busy, it was also extremely windy. I think I'd like to visit again on a quieter day

Skies that go on forever and the best Waterloo Sunsets. There was a lovely cool breeze on such a hot day when we last visited. You can't swim here as it has a red flag. Watch out for patches sinking sand/mud. Follow the beach safety notices and you should be fine.

It's a public sculpture exhibition, free entry, on Crosby which is a public access beach. We go often as it's the closest beach to us and we love the beach and Crosby has many restaurants, cafes, bars, ice cream parlours. You can access Gromle'ys sculptures which are on the beach and in the sea itself, from either the lake, the sports centre or Blundell Sands. Enjoy !

Yes - it's here . Strangely evocative ---- industrial blue collar port and subarban town stretched out across miles of coast > meets nature on the cool temperate stormy edge of the Irish sea. Be aware that sometimes the ancient and natural coal tar sands reveal themsleves making you suppose there has been a local oil spill - ---later to be covered up by ever shifting golden sands ....sometimes so fresh and bright that on a sunny summers day can make you think or Cornwall at its best or California (note to self --- need more of these days!)

Always check the tides, that way there will be something to see! We went at sunset, but dawn would be better as the light has a wonderful quality. As we were there in the evening all the locals were on the beach which added to the atmosphere significantly. The sand is soft and potentially dangerous, don't walk out to the far figures - I only went onto the edges of the wet sand and could feel my feet sinking! Absolutely loved our visit. Free to visit.
