Pyramid in Edenhill Plantation near Beamish
Stone sculpture about 4-5m high constructed in 1996 by artist Colin Rose. This is part of a rural art scheme and was made using dry stone walling techniques. A steel pole was embedded into the ground initially and a line from the top of the pole to the ground was used to scribe the circle at the base.

Eastern portal of old railway tunnel at Beamish
The old rail route through Beamish in County Durham now has the responsibility of carrying three named paths and cycle routes: the 'C2C Cycle Route', the 'Great North Forest Heritage Trail' and the 'Consett and Sunderland Railway Path'.
The tunnel seen here is one of two that follow in close succession neither of which cuts through particularly high ground; it's surprising that the route was tunnelled rather than cuttings being made.
