The Sea Ogre


The Sea Ogre has recently appeared on the beach at Cleveleys, on the Mythological Coastline. It is near to Mary's Golden Shell, on the northern section of Cleveleys beach, towards Rossall.

The sculpture took 700 hours to complete and was hand-carved from a 17-tonne limestone boulder, from Carnforth. It is the work of Adrian Wright, a Lancashire-based sculptor.

The Ogre is submerged at high tide – hence the algae around its head and shoulders – so you need to visit at low tide to see it close up.
