Places of Interest
Angel of the North
The Angel of the North is a massive steel sculpture located near Gateshead. This iconic landmark features a wingspan wider than a jumbo jet and is set atop a former colliery. Visitors come to experience the incredible scale of the figure and enjoy panoramic views across the surrounding countryside.
The Angel of the North is one of the most iconic landmarks in Britain, a massive steel sculpture perched beside the A1 near Gateshead. Designed by Antony Gormley and opened in 1998, the figure stands about 20 metres tall with a huge 54-metre wingspan—even wider than a jumbo jet. Its weathered steel has aged into a deep rust colour, and its position atop a former colliery serves as a tribute to the area's industrial heritage.
Passed by millions of commuters and travellers every year, the Angel has become a symbol of pride for the North East. Visitors often stop by to stand under the sculpture and take in its incredible scale and sweeping wings. Plus, the hilltop location offers great views across the surrounding countryside.
