    The Second Sun sculpture lies on NCN 7 (part of C2C) under Wearmouth Bridge, and is part of the Riverside Sculpture Trail.

    This sculpture covers the largest area on the riverside. Smaller installations extend along to the coast, and are named after all the planets in the solar system. They're placed proportionately distant from the Second Sun, offering C2C and W2W cyclists and walkers the distance they are from their finish line.
