🐂What does it take to create a landmark that captures the power, heritage and spirit of Cumbria? In our February issue, we meet metalwork artist Ellie Barden, whose extraordinary steel sculpture of Graiggoch Rambo – a four‑tonne Limousin bull – is set to become a striking new focal point on Carlisle’s southern link road. Working from her forge in Brougham Castle, Ellie brings strength, skill and storytelling together in this remarkable commission.

Pick up your copy today to discover the full story behind the bull.
