Yorkshire’s biggest and highest public artwork with spectacular views.
The Coldstones Cut is a piece of public art on a monumental scale. It was created by Andrew Sabin as a cultural response to Coldstones Quarry.
From an array of platforms visitors can view the vast quarry hole, limestone quarrying operation and sweeping panoramas across the AONB. It’s an exposed spot so don’t forget to wrap up warm even on a sunny day!
