"Rugged Landscape", Redburn Dene

Originally one of the main rail corridors down to the coal staithes from the coalfields in Northumberland, the path through Redburn Dene park is now followed by National Cycle Network route 72, "Hadrians Cycleway". The large timbers used to form the carved columns were reclaimed from the nearby redundant coal staithes and along with the large boulders form the "Rugged Landscape", one of the sights along the Royal Quays Art Walk.
