Geocache Description:

Light Pyramid is a new piece of public art - not listed on the MK Artwalks site - but included in this series anyway.


Commissioned by MK Gallery in collaboration with The Parks Trust, artist Liliane Lijn (b.1939) has created Light Pyramid, a new artwork that by day appears as a six metre high pyramidal sculpture, but by night radiates light, serving as a unique beacon for Milton Keynes. This work is Lijn’s second public art commission for Milton Keynes, the first, Circle of Light (1979), is a kinetic light sculpture located in the centre:mk. Sited at the end of the Belvedere (a made-made feature formed at the time of the original construction of the city centre), in Campbell Park, Milton Keynes, the sculpture is located at the eastern most end of Midsummer Boulevard and the highest point in the park. The site within Milton Keynes’ city park affords extensive views of the surrounding Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire countryside, from which the pyramidal sculpture will itself be prominently visible.

NOTE: The host has been changed a bit by the activities of the Parks Trust landscape gardening team - but the cache is still there!


You're looking for a container (around the size of a pot of chewing gum :) ) which is NOT up the hill but in a location where you can see the pyramid(!)... and go up the hill after doing the cache if you want :)

 

NOTE: At certain times of the year, this area is grazed by sheep. Observe all rules about dogs etc, and look where you put your feet!

 

 

This is Parks Trust land and the cache has been placed in accordance with the Landowner Agreement on the GAGB website.
