Dogs Jump for Joy

You'll find this quirky Surrey landmark just outside Woking, and it's exactly what the name promises - a bronze sculpture of dogs captured mid-leap, frozen in that moment of pure canine joy. It's the kind of thing you'd drive past without a second glance if you didn't know it was there, but once you do, it becomes a proper little talking point.

The piece itself is charming rather than grand. Dog lovers will get the most mileage from it - literally, you could make it part of a walk round the area. Kids might enjoy spotting it and taking photos, though it's not the sort of thing that'll keep them entertained for hours. It's more of a quick stop-off, a bit of quirk to break up a journey or a weekend in Surrey.

Being a public landmark, there's no admission charge and no fussing about opening hours - you can visit whenever you're passing. Given its location near Woking, it slots nicely into a caravan or camping trip if you're based at Warren Farm Home Park or Horsley Camping and Caravanning Club Site. Neither of those are within spitting distance, mind, so you'd need transport.

If you're the type who enjoys finding odd local sculptures and doesn't need everything wrapped up in visitor facilities, this is worth a quick diversion. But don't expect anything elaborate. It's a moment, not an afternoon.
