The Long Walk is a straight path in Windsor Great Park. It runs for over two miles between Windsor Castle and "The Copper Horse", a statue of King George III on horseback.

This was the first publicly-funded statue in Birmingham. It was made in 1809 and includes a miniature version of HMS Victory as well as Nelson himself.

Antony Gormley's "Angel of the North" overlooks the A1 main road and the East Coast Main Line railway. It is made of steel and was completed in 1998.
4. First UK statue of Charles Dickens

In his will, Charles Dickens asked that he should have no monument besides his writings. It was only in 2014 - well over a century after his death - that the first UK statue was erected, in his birthplace of Portsmouth.
5. Lady Godiva on horseback

Answer: Coventry

Lady Godiva was the wife of Leofric, Earl of Mercia. She allegedly rode naked around Coventry in the 11th century in an attempt to persuade her husband to reduce taxes. The "Peeping Tom" aspect of the story was added later.

Plymouth Hoe is where Sir Francis Drake allegedly played bowls while waiting for the Spanish Armada to arrive in 1588. The statue only dates from 1884.
7. "Boadicea and Her Daughters"

Answer: Westminster Bridge, London

Boadicea, also known as Boudicca, was a queen of the British Celtic Iceni tribe who led an uprising against the occupying Romans. The statue shows her and her two daughters on a chariot. Work on the statue began in 1856 but it was only erected here in 1902.
8. The Victoria Memorial

Answer: The Mall, London

This is a large monument to Queen Victoria, sited at the western end of The Mall just in front of Buckingham Palace. The overall memorial to Victoria also includes nearby gates and gardens.

This is a memorial to Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert, who died aged 42 in 1861. It is close to the Royal Albert Hall. The memorial is in the style of a ciborium - a canopy supported by columns - with Albert seated underneath.
10. Churchill and Wolfe

Answer: Westerham, Kent

The green in the small town of Westerham has statues of two important figures from British history. James Wolfe, who died at the Battle of Quebec in 1759, was born there. Sir Winston Churchill lived nearby for many years at "Chartwell".
