20m-high, white, pre-cast concrete sculpture of a head, on the site of a former colliery.
We enjoyed our visit. The Dream statue and information monuments were interesting. The woodlands around the statue are full of a life with a wide variety of plants. There are plenty of lanes to wander along and enjoy a walk. It is good to see how what was once a slag heap from coal mining is now a place to relax, remember and enjoy.
Very nice and peaceful environment with couple of entrance points. Easy walking route with sign as well as benches and bins The Sculpture is huge Really enjoyed, the only problem is the car park as we have to park in the main road
