Northumberlandia (the "Lady of the North") is a huge land sculpture in the shape of a reclining female figure, which was completed in 2012, near Cramlington, Northumberland, northern England.
At 1,300ft (396m) long Northumberlandia at Cramlington, is the world's largest human form sculpted into the landscape. The £3m sculpture has been shaped from the rock and waste from a surface mine on land owned by Viscount Ridley.
Northumberlandia, which took two years to construct, was formed as a lasting legacy in recompense for the disruption caused by coal extraction at what was the largest mine of its kind in England.
