Today's Guardian Travel Supplement offers a number of ideas on where to go in the UK this half term. One of the suggested destinations is James Turrell's 'Skyspace' at Kielder Forest in Northumberland. This is one of the most signficant pieces of public art in the UK in my opinion, and not nearly as well known as it should be. So take a trip up the A68 (OK - it's not Route 66 but it's still an attractive drive) and spend some time looking at the big Northumberland skies.
And if you can't get that far north, the same artist has constructed the Deer Shelter in the Yorkshire Sculpture Park outside Wakefield.
Enjoy!
