Wickhamford Woofs

Dog sculptures stand in a field near Broadway, Worcestershire - a quirky rural landmark that's caught the attention of passing visitors for years. Wickhamford Woofs is exactly what it sounds like: larger-than-life wooden or stone dog figures dotting the countryside, the sort of thing you stumble across and think "well, that's odd in the best way possible."

It's a five-minute stop rather than a destination in itself, but if you're cycling or driving through the Cotswolds between Broadway and the surrounding villages, worth a quick detour. Kids find it daft and amusing - dogs made of wood, what's not to like - and it makes for decent photos if you're into that sort of thing. Don't expect facilities or a visitor centre; this is a roadside curiosity, not a formal attraction.

The nearest proper facilities are in Broadway itself, which has cafes, pubs, and decent shops if you need to stretch your legs properly. If you're based at one of the nearby caravan parks - Leedons is closest at 2.4 miles, or the Broadway Caravan and Motorhome Club site at 2.7 miles - it's an easy evening walk or quick drive to see what the fuss is about. Honestly, it's the sort of local oddity that makes rural England worth exploring. Not life-changing, but charming in a completely unpretentious way.
