The source is marked by a sculpture by Gilbert Ward.
Until 2002, The Source was marked only by an old fence post and was easily missed. The massive sculpture by Gilbert Ward should remedy that. Look tall through the slot in the stone and you can see the birth of the South Tyne as it flows from the labyrinths. Raise your eyes with respect – the Celts believed that the eye of a river was the eye of God.
Park at the given coordinates and walk a couple of miles up the track from there.
