Where do kids want to go?

No.8: Angel of the North

It's big, it's bold and looks like a mighty action hero about to soar into the sky, so it's not hard to see the attraction. Designed by Antony Gormley and completed in 1998, this steel sculpture stands 66 feet high overlooking the A1 near Gateshead. Its wings are angled forward which the sculptor says is designed to give it 'a sense of embrace' - a concept which the kids seem to embrace!
