'Windy Nook', Whitehills
Richard Cole's Windy Nook, completed in 1986 transformed a former colliery slag heap and is noted for its excellent views.

At the summit is a terrace of concentric semi-circular stone walls and turfed earthworks incorporating 2,500 tons of granite recycled from pillars supporting the old Scotswood Bridge.
