Atom – Panopticon

Public artwork

Atom sits high above Wycoller, part sculpture, part shelter and part viewing frame. Its circular openings pull the surrounding hills into focus, making the changing weather and wide Pennine landscape feel like part of the work.

Visit notes

This is an easy place to combine with time in Wycoller Country Park. The sculpture is close to its own upland car park, while the old village lies downhill and has no public parking.

The position is exposed, so a clear day gives the best long views but layers and waterproof footwear are sensible even for a short stop.
