It's absolutely beautiful up there and the size of the structure is absolutely gigantum. There is a lot of space to relax and chill and enjoy the sun and enjoy the view. Lots of parking and the ice cream van there at the same time. There's a little field where some kids were playing football which kept them occupied. Just next to the structure is a lot of bushes with all keepsakes, momentos and notes to love one's who had been lost. It was a brilliant idea to remember loved and lost ones. There is a bus that gets you here from Gateshead bus depot within 15 minutes. The bus is the 22. The only thing that let's it down, is there is no toilets. Overall a great experience · via Google [carla Hamilton](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/108020854801595608778/reviews) ★★★★★ Wow... very impressive, I found it quite humbling and can understand why it brings pride to people in the north of England. Reasonable size free car park, 2 electric charging points, ice cream van on the Monday lunchtime we visited in June. Lovely picnic site if you ignore the sound of traffic. 2 min walk from the car park. Good pathways slight hill up to the statue but only short way. Dogs allowed but mindful of busy roads next to it. Worth a visit if you're in the area. · via Google [Daniel J. Pole](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/116759391548105214767/reviews) ★★★★★ Stopped to stretch the legs on the drive back to Scotland and took a short detour to see the famous landmark in real life. Easily accessible with parking and wheelchair accessible. Parking is right next to it and although there isn't really that much to see, it's a nice spot for a stop. There's also some memorial trees adorned with lovely tributes just to the feet of the Angels gaze. · via Google [glyn moore (ytgvmtv)](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/100400415787269559530/reviews) ★★★★★ What an amazing and HUGE statue. Free parking (could be restricted on time, I'm not sure). There are a couple of Fastnet chargers in the car park, but 5 minutes down the road there are Arnold Clark charger which are great and much better price. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x487e7a36271b10e3:0x7e38fcd6b4748a71!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) Visitors say this landmark features an impressive, massive sculpture that is a true feat of engineering and art.
