The C2C Guide - the definitive resource centre for the Sea to Sea cycle route

Artworks along the C2C

Sustrans, in partnership with other bodies such as Groundwork West Cumbria and some of the local authorities along the length of the C2C have commissioned a host of weird and wonderful artworks most notably on the Whitehaven to Sheriffs Gate section (miles 1 to 9.7), the Consett to Sunderland cycle route (miles 109 to 134.5) and the urban area from Gateshead to Tynemouth (miles 122 to 136.5). Below are the links to the artworks pages arranged so each section has its own page for ease of viewing and also to speed up page loading

Art and the Travelling Landscape - statement by SUSTRANS
'Artworks along the National Cycle Network create memorable landmarks to encourage travellers on their journey. They reflect the distinctive character of the local landscape or make historical references about the area and are carefully sited to provide meeting and resting places. Looking more closely at the passing environment will foster greater care and responsibility for it and bring enjoyment along the way'
