Giant Spoon In Cramlington
Art In Cramlington, Northumberland
A giant 15 foot spoon in between two fields near Cramlington and Seghill as part of a National Lottery funded art trail.
The Giant Spoon has many names including Cramlington Spoon or the Giant Spoon or the Giant Spoon Cramlington, but actually it's official name is Eat For England.
The Giant Spoon Cramlington is a 4.5 metre (15 foot) high spoon situated in the fields between Cramlington and Seghill and is part of a 2006 national art trail funded by the National Lottery.
Confirming its ideal location situated between two farmers fields, its creator Bob Budd said "I would say that's a very logical place for a spoon to be" stating that the fields are where the food is produced. Bob also calls it a "carrot" to entice people into the countryside.

The spoon was part of a Public Art and Design Initiative for South East Northumberland for connecting Cramlington and the villages of Seghill and Seaton Delaval. As this is located in fields, then the artist believed that a place where food is produced was the best place to locate the giant spoon.

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, a mysterious stone circle or a stunning waterfall secluded in a forest.
