You won’t be able to miss ‘Sultan’ the pit pony, the UK’s largest figurative earth sculpture.
I’m not sure there’s actually much competition for that particular title, Sultan sure is impressive.
"Sultan definitely looks a lot more like a Stallion than a Pit Pony, and as it turns out, this work (by landscape sculptor Mick Petts) was actually named Sultan by the locals – after a famous Pit Pony that used to work in the old colliery." text source: (visit link)
