Singing Ringing Tree (Panopticon)
Crown Point Road, Crown Point, Burnley, BB11 3RL · Blackburn & Burnley
A 3m-tall musical sculpture of swirling galvanised steel pipes that hums eerie wind-powered tunes - it plays a different melody every visit depending on the weather. Designed by Tonkin Liu and a RIBA National Award winner in 2007, it sits high above Burnley with panoramic views to Pendle Hill, the Bowland Fells and even Turf Moor on a clear day. It's about 15 minutes' drive from Burnley town centre with a short walk from the car park, and links to walks from Clowbridge Reservoir and Towneley Park.
Spark Hub tip: The path from the car park can be muddy after rain and has a short sloping section - manageable for most, but buggies may struggle in wet weather.
