Easily accessed from the parking lay-by on Wessenden Head Road, this is a series of open air art installations by Ashley Jackson in partnership with the National Trust.

There are 6 frames in the series, with another being located at Holme Moss car park. The views in this frame down to Wessenden Head Reservoir are beautiful.

Ashley Jackson wrote the following quote in 1950 “To see the spirit of Yorkshire and its moors through your eyes is one thing
Many people look but only a few will see and feel its very soul.”
To share his passion for the ever-changing landscape and allow us to see the beauty of the area through the season, the artist has partnered with the National Trust to install 6 frames around the area. One of which is this one, framing the Wessenden moor and reservoir.
