Kite Trail at Aberavon seafront by Andrew Rowe

Kite Trail by Carmarthenshire based artist Andrew Rowe was commissioned as part of a regeneration project and stands as a seafront market at Aberavon beach.

It is the largest sculpture in Wales stands at 12 metres and weighs a colossal eleven tonnes.

It was installed in December 2007 and stands opposite the Aquadome and next to Franco’s chip shop.

Work on the footings remains unfinished. There is also a much smaller ‘tail’ sculpture that accompanies the larger ‘kite’. When finished, the sculpture will be illuminated at night. Photos of the tail sculpture are not included in this gallery (it’s on the ‘to do’ list).
