He stands near the River Wye, by the main car park in Builth Wells. <br /><br />When I was living in Carmarthenshire, Merlin (and carvings of him in wood) were de rigour. He apparently lived in a cave on Merlin's Hill just outside of the town. <br /><br />Milton Keynes is famous for its concrete cows - but not in a good way! Then we have the Angel of the North "oop North" in Gateshead. I can't think of any more right now.
