If you were still confused like I was, here's a photo of the map on-site (best photo I could find):

I was confusing this with Angel of the North

They are only 16 miles (20 mins by car) apart so visiting both makes sense.

Google Map shows me nothing. I see an empty pin in the middle of the UK forest.
What is interesting there?
How does this finish in HN top without anything apparent?

Ever consider that the problem might be with your television set? On desktop, the link opens Google Maps on satellite view...
It's this thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northumberlandia

I don't think that it depends on desktop or mobile, but if you are connected or not and your map setting.
But curious that the path pattern does not appear in the map view

Change it to satellite view

Thank you very much, that was the missing piece of info. Very fun!

Interesting that the Wikipedia entry says it was designed to be a “major tourist attraction.” I live in the north of England and this is the first time I’ve ever heard of it(!)

Looks like a golf course in satellite view. A three-hole golf course. Badabumptscha.

I bet I could guess where the teardrops are.

Here's the official website with some explanation:
Northumberlandia is a unique piece of public art set in a 19-hectare community park providing free public access, with four miles of footpaths on and around the landform, along with a café and visitor centre. ... The centrepiece of this 19-hectare park is ‘The Lady of the North’, a stunning human landform sculpture of a reclining lady. Made of 1.5 million tonnes of rock, clay and soil, she is 100 feet high and a quarter of a mile long.
