About A Bigger Splash by David Hockney

You'll spot this one on a bollard in Winchester city centre - yes, a bollard. David Hockney's 'A Bigger Splash' wrapped around a concrete post is the sort of thing that makes you do a double-take on an ordinary high street. It's a cracking bit of public art that brings a famous painting down to street level, which means you can actually stand there and study it properly without fighting crowds in a gallery.

The piece works best if you know the original - that iconic pool painting - but honestly, the bright blues and splashing water are eye-catching enough on their own. It's free, it's always accessible, and it takes about five minutes to have a proper look. Not a destination in itself, but absolutely worth a quick detour if you're in Winchester for the day.

If you're basing yourself at one of the nearby caravan sites - Holden Farm is genuinely excellent if you can get a spot - this fits neatly into a morning wandering Winchester's town centre. The Morn Hill site is handier for getting into town quickly. It's not going to keep kids entertained for long, but it's the sort of quirky find that makes a holiday more interesting than just ticking boxes. Pair it with Winchester Cathedral or the high street shops and you've got yourself a proper morning out.
