    Tips

    'The Miner' and 'The Ironmaster' are towering sculptures crafted from discarded transformers and scrap metal sourced from the old Consett Steel Works.



    Situated along the Coast to Coast and NCN 7 cycle route between Consett and Stanley, these giant statues were masterfully created by artist David Kemp in 1990.



    They serve as a poignant tribute to the region's industrial heritage, especially its coal, iron, and steel industries that left an indelible mark on the area.

      Another quirky art piece. Step back and admire, climb up beside them for the view across the valley
