A major landmark in the wild countryside of Northumberland celebrating our heritage and our future.
The Elizabeth Landmark will be a major Northumbrian landscape sculpture with an elevation of 55 metres, or 180 feet, and is destined to endure as the most prominent landmark in the Border Region.
As a permanent celebration of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II and the countries of her Commonwealth, its ‘ascendant’ form will become an iconic visitor attraction of national and international importance. It will be a source of regional pride, creating a welcoming focal point within its majestic rural setting.
