Northumberlandia Land Form

Local nameNorthumberlandia Land Form
LocationCramlington, UK

Northumberlandia 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 high and 400 metres long, set in a 19 hectares 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.
