Brilliant free art insulation over looking a working quarry. Fantastic views all around. Would definitely recommend I did a 6 mile circular of the disused kilns in the area.
Amazing little place..short uphill walk from the free carpark. The sculpture is great fun and imposing at the same time and the views of the quarry are amazing! Loved my visit here.
A gem of a place hidden in plain sight. Crossed path with a local mountain leader but she had never heard of it despite having lived in Yorkshire Dales all her life. The monument and the quarry are made for each other and the surrounding views are stunning. If you are lucky you'd be able to spot some spectacular wildlife while walking up to the monument. The walk up is not very long but a but steep and plenty of dedicated free parking. You can donate to the monument/parking if you so wish.
The Coldstones Cut.. WHERE ART MEETS EARTH. BIGGEST AND HIGHEST PUBLIC ART WORK WITH 421M ABOVE SEA LEVEL! I recently visited The Coldstones Cut and found it to be a really unique and interesting place. It’s definitely worth a visit if you have an interest in geology, landscapes, or nature in general. The views and the structure itself make for a memorable experience. One of the highlights is how accessible and family-friendly it is. There’s a free car park, which makes planning the visit easy, and it’s great for both kids and pets. It’s a relaxed spot where you can take your time exploring and enjoying the surroundings. Overall, it’s a nice, peaceful destination that offers something a bit different from the usual outdoor attractions.
Parked up by the lime kiln and a short but steep walk up the hill. Interesting heritage / public art space. Gorgeous landscape views on the way up, with the sound of curlews in the spring. The views from within the installation are dramatic in a different way. An interesting idea and worth a visit.
