We missed the Northern Lights on Friday but took a chance on Saturday night but didn't see anything. However I've been to this sculpture on a couple of other occasions and I really like it. There is a very steep path up, which is best avoided either up or down, especially when wet, but there's a less steep path round the back. Fantastic views on a clear day. Also part of the poetry trail.

An interesting monument at the top of a fairly steep hill which offers great views.

Beautiful place with stunning views from the top next to the Gold leaf Sundial, its very well constructed and a grand piece of art, I've always seen it from a far so it was wonderful to eventually see it up close

Nice reason to visit the top of a small hill and gives some very good views. Sadly it does look better from a distance than up close, but the views do make up for it. There are some benches up here too for a rest once you reach the top and we found it quite quiet and peaceful, though this could have been due to the time of year (winter). The canal nearby offers a good walking path too.

I think this Gold Leaf artwork symbolizes the history of this area pretty well, its one of the best monument of a closed mine I ever seen. The coal mining in this area was so important in the 19 - 20th century, it was the 'local gold' coming from burried sunlight million years ago. From side view you only see a tall column, but from top view (use a drone) you can see a golden leaf. The hill itself was a spoil tip, that is the reason it is containing a lot of shale, sandstone and various other residues. Its a nice place for a walk around the hill to the top using the spiral path. The view fromt the top is great.

Fantastic views from here of surrounding countryside and its a lot easy to get up there via the paths these days. I was there on the summer solstice watching the sunrise which bathed the monument in beautiful warm light
