The "Northumberlandia" project owes its origins to open-cast mining: The earth lying above the mineral resources to be mined (e.g., coal seams) – known in technical terms as "overburden" – is typically stored on a so-called "overburden dump." Europe's largest artificial mountain, "Sophienhöhe," was created this way in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. As a landscape project, the overburden was used to create a reclining female figure called "Northumberlandia." However, from a ground perspective, little will be visible on site. To experience the outline of the sculpture of the lady, also known as the "Lady of the North," there is a plan sketch on the official website, which I have imported into the komoot image gallery (source: https://www.northumberlandia.com/ ).

Northumberlandia is an area where wildlife is a subject, insects and similar. There are some man made funny shaped hills that have loads of walking tracks. It is a public area with a dedicated car park, there is a cafe also.

Plessy Woods country park is a 100-acre area of woodland within a meander of the river Blyth. There are miles of walking trails within the country park and further along the wooded river valley. Look out for the carved wooden figures, a hobbit hole and other surprises. Also keep an eye out for the wildlife, Otters and Kingfishers live here. There is a cafe, toilets and information centre at the visitors’ centre.

Great walk about this land sculpture which opened in 2012
