A 12-foot phallic-shaped water fountain in Canterbury has locals doing double takes and the designer blushing with pride, not shame. Facing a deluge of innuendo, the artist insists the curves are intentional—‘phallic object’ critiques apparently register as compliments. Canterbury’s controversial fountain is now the city’s cheekiest landmark.

But beneath the laughter, The Point’s real impact is flowing—its illuminated viewing hole and engraved Pilgrim’s Progress quote have already made it a must-see for those searching “Canterbury tourist attractions.” Even skeptics can’t deny its eco-friendly, selfie-magnet allure.
