This seven-foot tall figure of Fenella looking out over Fenella Beach is attracting sightseers since she was unveiled in 2011. The sculpture was carved from a single piece of ash by artist Nick Barlow and was commissioned by Peel Carnival Committee, acting on an idea by chairman Ian Baker.
Fenella is a character in Sir Walter Scott’s 1823 novel "Peveril of the Peak", set around Peel Castle. The beach formed by the creation of the causeway between East Quay and the castle was named Fenella Beach following the success of the novel, which attracted many visitors to the town.
