Off the Leash Bransford (Floyd & Kent)

There's a rather brilliant dog sculpture in Bransford, just outside Worcester, that's become something of a local talking point. Off the Leash depicts two greyhounds - Floyd and Kent - frozen mid-sprint, and it's the sort of public art that makes you stop and actually look, rather than walk straight past.

The piece sits in the village with a charm that appeals most to dog lovers and anyone who appreciates a bit of quirky public sculpture. You won't need more than fifteen minutes here, honestly - it's a landmark rather than a full afternoon outing - but it's worth the minor detour if you're already exploring the Worcester area. The sculpture captures real movement and personality, which is more than can be said for a lot of public art.

If you're based at one of the nearby holiday parks - Hop Pickers is closest at under three miles away, or Malvern Hills Caravan and Motorhome Club if you fancy staying closer to the hills - Bransford makes for a quick pit stop during a larger day out. Combine it with a proper walk in the Malvern Hills themselves, or a wander around Worcester's cathedral and riverside. The village itself is quiet, rural Worcestershire, so don't expect much more than the sculpture and a bit of countryside.

Free to view, naturally, and accessible whenever you fancy. Not a reason to plan an entire trip around, but a proper little addition to a park-based holiday in this part of the world.
