Skybowl

Skybowl

'Skybowl' aims to make a major contribution to heritage and culture in Durham.

Currently at the design stage, 'Skybowl' proposes the installation of a giant steel bowl more than fifty feet in diameter on top of an existing grassy hillock between County Hall and Durham City centre, becoming instantly recognisable from the A1 (M) motorway and the East Coast Main Line railway. Visitors would also be able to go inside the bowl where they would be enveloped by sky.
