Best statue I've been to was the Connemara Giant in Ireland. Not because it is a wonderful statue. It isn't - but it was a laugh. We drove about 20 miles into the middle of nowhere just to see this bloody thing and when we got there this was this statue of a giant with the plaque reading something like the following - though sorry I can't remember the actual date is uses "on this spot in the year ???? absolutely nothing happened".

We had quite an amusing time just watching tourists trying to work out what it was all about
