Walking BritainSinging Ringing Tree, Panopticon for Burnley
Walk Photo 219601
Caption - The 'Singing Ringing Tree' is a unique wind powered sound sculpture resembling a tree, which overlooks Burnley from its position high above the town on Crown Point. The site was once that of a rediffusion transmission station, complete with a run-down brick building and unused telegraph lines. The station was dismantled and the lines cut down to be recycled, to make way for the Tree that was to stand out against the stark, rolling landscape of the Pennines.

Location Map
South Pennines
The South Pennines stretch from the northern boundary of the Peak District to the southern boundary of the Yorkshire Dales. Consisting of high rolling moorland, intersected by deep valleys, there is nowhere in this region that exceeds 2000 feet. The moors and valleys are where the old rivals, Lancashire and Yorkshire meet and where too the rival industries of cotton and wool. More Information
