The Coldstones Cut is a monumental public artwork by Andrew Sabin, designed as a sculptural response to Coldstones Quarry near Pateley Bridge. This immersive installation consists of a labyrinth of streets and pathways, enclosed by towering stone walls that echo the scale and weight of the quarry itself.

As visitors navigate the winding paths, they encounter dramatic shifts in perspective. At certain points, the experience opens up to breathtaking panoramic views over the Yorkshire Dales, where rolling hills and vast landscapes stretch into the distance. Conversely, looking downward reveals the immense depths of the quarry, where 60-tonne trucks, appearing as tiny toys, move about far below.

This striking contrast between the expansive natural landscape and the industrial enormity of the quarry invites reflection on the relationship between human activity and the environment. Through its commanding presence and thoughtful design, The Coldstones Cut challenges viewers to engage with both the beauty and the scale of the surrounding landscape.
