You can see Penshaw before the Angel on the train coming up from the south on the east coast mainline first, and sure you can see it from the A1 coming from the south tooThe Angel is a good landmark, but nothing to Penshaw Monument. Always penshaw for me, and not just when i'm returning home from hols. I cycle all round the local area and it good to see it from lots of locations.

Durham Cathedral is the most obvious one apart from Penshaw Monument. The Angel is just a lump of scrap metal to me.

Penshaw is visible from at least 5 miles away, the design is classical Greek. It is wonderful and very much under rated by anyone not from Wearside.
This. It is without doubt the finest view you'll get pulling into a train station when you're coming north.
I like the Angel is a piece of art but I've argued before that the location is wrong and doesn't have the impact of Penshaw Monument. You almost have to be on top of it before seeing it.The angel is an overated piece of tat. The design is awful and since when is rust attractive? Despite its size it isn't very visible from any sort of distance either.
