On the “other” side of the Clifton Suspension Bridge you can find 13. Light as a Feather.
This balloon themed Feathers has lots of nice touches like the baskets for feet.
Back in 2015 I attempted to see and photograph all 70 Shaun the Sheeps I managed to get 62. This time I am aiming to get all 67 sculptures. I have created this page to record all the sculptures we find. Download the app to find the sculptures.
In the heart of Clifton Village you won’t find the Queen of Hearts, but you will find a Mad Hatter’esque Wallace in 11. Wallace in Wonderland having a cup of tea in The Mall Gardens.
Complete with a cup of tea, Wallace could have just come from the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party, but there was no dormouse to be found.

Sitting on his own on the Downs near to the water tower is 46. George.
As the description says “perhaps fresh off of a jousting match or just back from slaying a fire-breathing dragon” we find George (or Wallace) encased in armour with a cup of tea.
Though this was one of the first sculptures I saw, at the first attempt, it was really hard to park close enough, so we left him for another day. There was more room on a later date, so found a parking space and took some photographs.
I really like the coat of arms on the cup complete with Gromit and Feathers.
Smiling away, he seems happy.

The brightly coloured 66. Toto can be found on Flaxpits Lane in Winterbourne.
Inspired by the multi-coloured houses of Bristol.

The 2016 hit film Swallows and Amazons, based on the Arthur Ransom’s book is the inspiration for 65. Swallows & Amazons, which can be found at the main entrance to the Willow Brook Centre in Bradley Stoke. Gromit is basically a map.
I love the flags on the ears, now is the flag of the Swallow boat, the other is the skull and crossbones of the Amazons.
On Gromit’s back you can see more details and places from the stories. Wild Cat Island taking centre stage
There are also the boats from the story as well as Holly Farm where it all beings.
The whole map thing works really well.

Hidden away in Bradley Stoke is 64. Cupid.
Covered in pink and red hearts.

Reflecting the other bronze sculptures in Millennium Square we have a bronze Wallace.
21. A Grand Tribute is a tribute to the voice of Wallace, Peter Sallis, this has lots of amazing facts about him.
Oh and if you press the button (when it works) you can even hear him saying some classic Wallace sayings.

Complete with jet engines, this Gromit is ready to take off.
You can find 49. Gromjet inside one of Bristol’s newest museums, Aerospace Bristol next to Filton Airport.
I found this Gromit rather challenging to find.
The description on the website says
It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s ‘Gromjet’! Perhaps donning one of Wallace’s latest ambitious inventions, you’ll find this turbo-charged pooch soaring around Aerospace. Showcasing a very futuristic mode of transportation, a moving, interactive ‘Gromjet’ is designed and sponsored by Trailblazer Rolls-Royce!
My initial thought it was at the entrance to the Rolls Royce complex, I misread the map too. It was only after getting the app that I realised that it was in fact hidden inside Aerospace Bristol.

Disguised as a huge ice cream, 44. Game of Cones can be found near to the main entrance to Bristol Temple Meads.
I do like the waffle cone feet.

There are quite a few flowery Gromits in this year’s sculptures. 26. Bristol in Bloom is no exception.
She can be found outside St Mary Redcliffe.
