'She is looking worse for wear': visitors take a toll on the Lady of the North
Sightseers at Charles Jencks's giant sculpture Northumberlandia are being asked to stick to its paths.
There are signs coming to Northumberlandia, an important and popular example of work by the late American landscape designer Charles Jencks - and visitors say they are needed.
Created from 1.5m tonnes of rock, clay and soil from a nearby open cast coalmine, Northumberlandia, or Lady of the North, is a vast reclining female figure, perhaps a naked ancient goddess, which when seen from the air looks magnificent.
But seen up close at ground level the lady is looking tired and worn with unsightly patches of damage. Its custodians, Northumberland Wildlife Trust, this week put out an appeal calling for the public to stick to paths as it embarks on repair work, which will take years to complete.
Families had been sliding down the steepest part of the sculpture as if it were a fairground slide, the trust said. Instead of using designated footpaths.

Sightseers at Charles Jencks's giant sculpture Northumberlandia are being asked to stick to its paths.
There are signs coming to Northumberlandia, an important and popular example of work by the late American landscape designer Charles Jencks - and visitors say they are needed.
Created from 1.5m tonnes of rock, clay and soil from a nearby open cast coalmine, Northumberlandia, or Lady of the North, is a vast reclining female figure, perhaps a naked ancient goddess, which when seen from the air looks magnificent.
But seen up close at ground level the lady is looking tired and worn with unsightly patches of damage. Its custodians, Northumberland Wildlife Trust, this week put out an appeal calling for the public to stick to paths as it embarks on repair work, which will take years to complete.
Families had been sliding down the steepest part of the sculpture as if it were a fairground slide, the trust said. Instead of using designated footpaths.
