I went down to the Discovery Centre to see the (small) exhibition about the Invicta Horse and after looking at it and reading about it, this iconic feature will I'm sure, be a calalyst for a whole string of regenerations programmes.
Along OUR White Cliffs, we have the South Foreland Light-House, then the major cliffs themselves, which are one of Britain's most iconic features, Dover Castle, one of EH's most popular and most visited sites, the Western Heights themselves, where some of Britain's, let alone Dover's, most important historic sites are.
Moving along the coast, we then have Capel-le-Ferne and the Battle of Britain Memorial, which now has Planning permission for extending the main building both sides, in the form of wings.
Who will deny, that if the marketing is done properly and if the Western Heights regeneration is done properly and sympathetically, we will have the most important Tourism area in the South East of England ?
Looking at other man-made sculptures, The Welsh Dragon Project will be one of the largest sculptures ever built in the UK. It will also be a hub for the regeneration of North Wales connecting business, leisure and tourism in the Olympic year when the eyes of the world will be on the UK.
The Welsh Dragon is a mythological creature but it is also a powerful symbol of a proud nation linking past, present and a dynamic, innovative future.
The Invicta Horse is a proud symbol of Kent and at the Gateway to England - Kent, it must be an appropriate and iconic feature, showing that Dover means business and is at last moving forward.
Since spreading its wings in February 1998, Antony Gormley's The Angel of the North has become one of the most talked about pieces of public art ever produced.
Rising 20 meters from the earth near the A1 in Gateshead, the Angel dominates the skyline, dwarfing all those who come to see it. Made from 200 tonnes of steel, it has a wingspan of 54 metres. Getting up close with the Angel is an experience you'll never forget!
The Angel of the North is a major visitor attraction. It is seen by over 150,000 visitors a year and more than 90,000 drivers on the A1.
The regeneration of the Western Heights must be done in sympathy with the history there, not just have money chucked at it; with a Country Park starting at Farthingloe and extending up to the Heights, a quality Hotel - a real quality Hotel, The National War Memorial, The Drop Redoubt being refurbished as a Visitor Centre, the whole area can only be an asset to us all. Can't it ?
