Bear Sculpture - Joey the Swan, Wistaston, Cheshire East, UK - Bear Statues on Waymarking.com

The bear sculpture is located near to the footpath in Joey the Swan, a parkland in Wistaston.

The wooden sculpture of a bear is mounted on a fallen tree truck in a fenced off marshy wildlife area. It looks as if it is appearing from behind the truck.
Not a creature you would be expecting to see in that location!

Joey the Swan
'Joey the Swan is an area of open countryside and parkland that is rich in wildlife, including ancient trees and a wildflower garden planted by the volunteers of Wistaston Conservation Group. The path generally follows the line of Wistaston Brook.

Story has it, however, that the recreation ground is named after an adult male cob swan that lived on site in the 1930s. The swan favoured the hilltop, which he would take himself to the top of on a daily basis. His namesake lends the park a jovial, fond tone to locals today, with many making it a regular visiting spot for outdoor activities and walks.'
