A NEW piece of artwork created by Barnsley artist Patrick Murphy is set to be unveiled at the halfway point of the Trans Pennine Trail.
Locals are invited to celebrate the unveiling of the mid-point marker, a stunning new public artwork entitled ‘Flight Path’ by acclaimed artist Patrick Murphy, at the mid-point of the trail, RSPB Old Moor.
The feature is made of corten steel and invites you to ‘pause and reflect whilst listening to the sounds of nature’.
Patrick said: “For years, the Trans Pennine Trail has offered people from all walks of life a way to experience the grandeur of England’s landscapes - urban, rural, and wild.
“The halfway marker provides a natural gathering place, a photo opportunity, and a chance to connect with fellow travellers.”
It is set to be unveiled on Tuesday.
Coun James Higginbottom, cabinet spokesperson for environment and highways, said: “The mid-point marker, now immortalised as ‘Flight Path’, is more than a geographical milestone - it is a celebration of the trail’s role in connecting communities, preserving natural heritage, and fostering a spirit of discovery.”
