The "Singing Ringing Tree," located in Burley, is an innovative musical sculpture , the structure is made from galvanized steel pipes arranged in a tree-like form, and it stands atop a hill, providing breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.What makes this installation unique is its ability to produce sound. As the wind passes through the pipes, it creates an ethereal melody that resonates across the area. The sculpture's design is not only visually striking but also acoustically ingenious, allowing it to transform nature's breath into music.Visitors to the Singing Ringing Tree can experience this enchanting soundscape, which varies with the wind's strength and direction, making each visit a unique auditory experience. The site has become a popular attraction for both tourists and locals, inviting them to engage with art, architecture, and nature in a harmonious way.In essence, the Singing Ringing Tree is more than just a visual spectacle; it embodies the synergy between art and the environment, celebrating the beauty of sound and the landscape. Whether you are an art enthusiast, a nature lover, or simply seeking a peaceful retreat, this sculpture offers a moment of reflection and wonder. I had a lovely time with family 😀😀

Great attraction to visit if you’re passing that way. I first saw this when it was shiny and new in 2007 and it’s still going strong when we visited on the way past this weekend although it’s a bit weathered now. Best visited on a moderately windy day because too little or too much wind and it doesn’t sing as well. When we went this weekend it was extremely high winds so the audio on the video is crazy, don’t listen with headphones :’) It’s almost impossible to get the sound of the tree on videos so it’s worth experiencing for yourself and the YouTube videos don’t do it justice. There is a 4 seat picnic bench which needs reloading and one of the wooden stools has come off. Accessible via a 5 minute walk from the carpark, along a gravel path. We saw a mum coming back towards us with a baby in a stroller managing the path fine but the last bit on the way back up is a slight incline so bare that in mind unit visiting with a heavier wheelchair. The path also experiences strong cross winds.

An unusual sculpture/construction hardly a piece of art? I think something more fitting to Lancashires past would have been better but its worth a visit if your out walking. The views are great into Yorkshire and also over Burnley. Their are historical battle field sites and woodland walks in the immediate area as well as two reservoirs. Parking is easy with a purpose built carpark and other parking along Crown point. People with Disabilities can get to the sculpture as it has a stone aggregate path but wheelchair users would probably need someone with them. There are picnic benches if you want a table for food...

The tree is named after this German fairy tale movie. The story concerns a beautiful but selfish and haughty princess who rejects the proposal of a wealthy prince.[3] She scorns the gifts he offers her, and says that she will marry him only if he brings her the mythical "singing ringing tree". The prince locates the tree in the territory of an evil dwarf, who offers to give him the enchanted tree, on the understanding that, if the princess still rejects him, he will be in the dwarf's power...
