And fans have ranked it the fourth best place to visit in Cinderford, Gloucs.

One reviewer, who alleges to be a "paid member of the UK pole society for many years" has called the site a "historic forest landmark".

They added: "I've admired countless poles constructed of various materials during my four decades adorning this marvellous planet but this quite possibly is the finest.

"The intricate detail of the casting at the base of the pole is particularly triumphant, the shaft slender yet strong and the top so neatly terminated it could only have been done by the finest craftsmen to walk this land.

"I find myself now asking why And how has it taken me so long to have the Cinderford rusty pole in my life."
