Statue In Hexham, Northumberland
A mini version of the Angel Of The North standing in a field near Hexham.
We'd be shocked if you hadn't heard of the Angel Of The North, but did you know there is also a mini version near Hexham?
On a small rise in a field near Whitney Chapel is this splendid mini version of the Angel. It's probably over 2m high with a wingspan of around 5m.
I couldn't find any more information about it anywhere, so assume someone just created it as a project of passion!
For even more pictures have a peep at Gemma's Journey who visited a few years before we spied it.

You will see the angel from the field entrance. There is a sign on the post saying it's a public bridleway, so fine to head up.

There is a small verge just next to the field entrance.

Thanks for checking out this place on the Fabulous North! I do enjoy a wander out in to the countryside trying to find hidden gems that not many people know about. You can't beat a rogue Pele tower up a remote hill or a mysterious stone circle or a stunning waterfall secluded in a forest.
