What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors find the 'Exposure (Crouching Man)' sculpture to be an impressive and recognizable piece of modern art by Antony Gormley. It's appreciated for its accessibility, with no tickets required, and its scenic location near a beach, making it a pleasant spot for walks and sunset viewing.

"You can access the site passsing the camping ground. There is a small beach nearby and you might disturb a host of birds on your way. The sculpture is not much more impressive close-up than when you take a panoramic shot. But if you need a pause for fresh air anyways or walk the dog, it might be worth a stop-over."
