We have gifted just shy of 25 acres around Cold Law Hill to The Elizabeth Landmark charitable trust to bring this world-class project to fruition.

We have been inspired to do so in part by the Waterloo Monument, an awe-inspiring Doric column which stands on the summit of Penielheugh, Jedburgh amongst acres of natural landscape and because we believe a lasting monument to our longest serving monarch, Queen Elizabeth II is both fitting and essential.

The Elizabeth Landmark will be a powerful symbol of gratitude to Queen Elizabeth II and her uniting of The Commonwealth over 70 years - coming together in Cold Law, Northumberland.

Cold Law is a beautiful and wild part of Northumberland, close to the engineering heartland of the county - just a few miles from where Lord Armstrong established his primary ironworks in the mid-1800s. A fact which is represented in the design and materials of the landmark.

In a world that can often feel increasingly fractured, The Commonwealth’s shared values of tolerance, respect and understanding are more important than ever.

We hope that a celebration of The Commonwealth as a compelling force for good will represent our shared heritage and a shared tomorrow.

Fittingly, all capitals of the 54 Commonwealth member states whose capital cities are globally situated south of The Elizabeth Landmark.

As long time supporters of the arts, we value the challenge that good art presents, how it inspires and helps grow our horizons.

The Elizabeth Landmark is eye catching, thought provoking and awe-inspiring: it speaks of things larger than ourselves through its unique and site-specific design. In an ever-shrinking world, we need experiences which expand our perspectives.
