Thread Name: Origin: Lambton Worm
Subject: RE: Lambton Worm
Yes Brian. Just over Fatfield bridge over the River Wear about 100m on the left is Worm Hill of said Worm fame. Much smaller than Penshaw Hill;a worm could easily have wrapped it's tail 10 times round :0)

The monument on top of Penshaw Hill is the same shape as The Parthenon in Athens and unusually is about 50% bigger than the origional!!
