Hare Sculpture

This bronze hare catches you off guard. It's not tucked away in some grand museum - it's a standalone sculpture that commands attention in its own right, a proper focal point rather than an afterthought. The detail is extraordinary: you can see the muscle tension in its haunches, the alertness in its posture, the texture of its fur. It's the kind of piece that makes you circle it twice, spotting something new each time.

Located near Cirencester, this works brilliantly if you're based at one of the nearby caravan parks - Hoburne Cotswold is particularly well-rated and only 3.8 miles away. It's the sort of cultural moment that breaks up a holiday focused on countryside pottering without demanding hours of your time. Art enthusiasts will appreciate the craftsmanship; kids usually find it engaging because it's not hidden behind glass or ropes.

Unfortunately, I don't have confirmed opening hours or admission details - worth ringing ahead or checking locally in Cirencester before you visit. Allow 15 minutes to really look at it properly, maybe 30 if you're the type to photograph every angle. The sculpture works best in decent light, so avoid heading out on a grey afternoon if you can help it.

If you're doing a wider Gloucestershire park holiday, this is a decent detour that justifies the short drive from Mayfield Park or Cirencester Park Caravan and Motorhome Club Campsite. It's not the kind of thing that'll consume your day, but it's absolutely worth knowing about.
