Northumberlandia (the "Lady of the North") is a huge land art sculpture in the shape of a reclining female figure, which was completed in 2012, near Cramlington, Northumberland, northern England. It is in the care of Northumberland Wildlife Trust.
Made of 1.5 million tonnes of earth from neighbouring Shotton Surface Mine, it is 34 metres (112 feet) high and 400 metres (1,300 feet) long, set in a 19 hectares (47 acres) public park. Its creators claim that it is the largest land sculpture in female form in the world.
When constructed, it was intended to be a major tourist attraction, with the developers hoping that it would attract an additional 200,000 visitors a year to Northumberland. It was officially opened by Anne, Princess Royal on 29 August 2012. A day-long Community Opening Event on 20 October 2012 marked the park becoming fully open to the public.
Development
Designed by American landscape architect Charles Jencks, the sculpture was built on the Blagdon Estate, owned by Matt Ridley, a journalist, businessman and author of The Red Queen: Sex and the Evolution of Human Nature.[citation needed]
The £2.5 million cost was borne by the Blagdon Estate and the Banks Group, who carried out the construction work. The construction is part of the development of an adjacent open-cast coal mine at Shotton. For this project, it was decided to use part of the excavated material to make a land sculpture rather than return it all to the surface mine, as is normally done at the end of such operations.

Morning Michael, as always your comments are very welcome, thanks for your support.👍👍🙏.
Nice one Steve, a perfect attraction to be shot with a drone. It makes me wonder how anyone on the ground could appreciate this creation. Must have taken a considerable effort to create, but I can imagine that you only really get to see this sculpture from an aerial perspective. Enjoyed watching and music excellent also

Jason great comments from you again, I'm glad you watched it, so you're a golfer, if you're a member of a club it's not cheap, my dad god bless him, he was a member at the Wilton golf club for 40 years he loved it, I'll keep watching your channel because I'm sure you will have another one out there soon 👍👍😁
@@Steve53 you’re welcome Steve, very nice video this one mate as always though! I’ve played a bit in the past , don’t play anymore though was never that good haha! Was more of a snooker player haha! God bless him, that’s some commitment! Thankyou, always appreciate your comments and support , means a lot and likewise 🙂
Steve, well done. You have such beautiful landscapes there. Not so much in my area of the USA and I am not much on travel.
I appreciate what you're saying Frank, we do have a lot of countryside not far from home, but at least you have that big river and plenty of ships passing by, once again thanks for watching 👍👍
Oh oh oh I haven’t seen this in such a long time awesome job ❤❤❤❤
Hi Tony I watched Yvonnes video from a while ago, so travel up to take a look, thanks Tony your support is always great 👍👍😎
Simple movements but very effective, love the top down shot showing the whole site.
Cheers, from the point of takeoff to the designated area I had no choice but to keep it simple, sometimes this is the way, the distance was an issue, when I fly around an area that I'm unfamiliar with I have my spotter with me, my wife 😁 👍👍😎.
@Steve53 deffo. You are lucky to get a spotter, my wife hates my drone, so I fly solo.
@@Clearviewdroneshots the only time I don't have my wife spotting for me is when I fly round ships of the Gare at Redcar she can't swim 🤣👍😎
@@Steve53 🤣
