The Echo sculpture can be seen as you travel along Southern Way. It is on a small hill. You can park up at Staple Tye shopping centre if you want to get a little closer. I would recommend downloading the Sculpture map from Harlow Borough Council to get accurate directions for finding the many sculptures in the town.

This is one of a number of statues situated in the Water Gardens in Harlow town centre. Set in a pleasant landscaped area (ignore the car park next door) adjacent to the civic centre (town hall) which also contains an art gallery. Get a map of all the public sculpture (there is LOADS) around the town from the gallery and make a day of it.

Who'd have thought you can go to a small town in Harlow to see an amazing sculpture by Auguste Rodin but you can! Situated in the Water Gardens it's very close to Next and Asda. It's certainly worth checking out if you are in the area.
6. Upright Motive No 2: Bronze Cross by Henry Moore
7. The Philosopher by Keith Godwin

Reviewed By therichastill - Stevenage, United Kingdom
Just around the corner from the Water Gardens the Philosopher's statue is located. Not sure if it is just me but he is looking away from the town centre. Is he looking out towards the neighbourhoods of the area or offended by the layout of the town? What do you think?
8. Seven reliefs/mosaics by William Mitchell
9. Bird by Michael Chase
10. Meat Porters by Ralph Brown

Situated at the end of the Boardwalk the Meat Porters statue is on the edge of the market place. It is quite a bold statue of two men carrying an ox carcass. Certainly worth checking out if you enjoy art and are in the area.
