Eyecatching sculpture at Fountains Abbey highlights flood fears
The National Trust and the Climate Coalition have unveiled an eye-catching new sculpture near Ripon to highlight the impact of flooding created by climate change.
Artist Richard Woods, who is known for his colourful architecture pieces, is behind the installation called Forever Home.
This work depicts an upturned house in the River Skell in the grounds of Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal.
