Robin of Pegswood designed to symbolise the area's mining heritage and links to Sherwood Forest in Nottingham.
The piece was created by local artist Tom Maley, whose previous work includes the bronze statue of Newcastle United legend Jackie Milburn on the approach to St James' Park and the unknown bronze soldier at the war memorial in Ashington.
Good marker for Pegswood turn where there is a co-op store if needed

Rothbury is a peaceful town in the heart of Northumberland. Close to the hills and the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it is an ideal base for explorations. You find a good choice of accommodation, places to eat and drink, as well as shops and other attractions within the town.
