About a year ago, during an uncharacteristically romantic walk along Redcliff Quay, me and my then boyfriend stumbled across the Exploration statue. Maybe it was because love was in the air or because we’d just been for a rather boozy lunch, but I was taken aback by the beauty of the 10ft sculpture.
There were three artists involved in the production of the statue — James Blunt, Philippa Threlfall and Kennedy Collings which was commissioned in 1991. The rings on the top symbolises the seasons, whereas the main obelisk depicts mythical sea monsters, fishes and serpents.
For me, it represents peace and calm in an otherwise chaotic city. I love a walk along the river regardless, but I always make the effort to pay a visit to Exploration once in a while. If you’re paying a visit to Bristol and coming by train, make a detour to the statue on the way to the city centre and see «a celebration of Bristol’s seafaring heritage».
