More From Kettlewell

I thought I'd show you a few more of the scarecrows we came across when we visited the Kettlewell Scarecrow Festival at the weekend. I took so many photos but didn't want to jam them all in to one post, so here's a few more.

The Tetley Tea Folk. I loved this.


The village store had put on a great display of Mrs Brown's Boys, not a programme I watch but I know it's very popular.


Mary had a little lamb.


I found this one rather scary.


Frank Sidebottom peering out through a window over a door.


Some displays featured many scarecrows. There were seven attending this tea party.


Bottle feeding the lambs. Awwww.


Ladies who lunch.


The very hungry caterpillar.


Aleksandr Orlov.


Wallace from Wallace and Gromit. The sign shows The Wrong Trousers with Trousers having been crossed out and Brother written in its place, referring to the Millibands.


This lady was taking her pet cow for a walk.


Fit as a butcher's dog. I can see why, they're eating all the sausages.


A lady attending to her beautiful garden.


I'm sure you'll agree, there's some very creative people living in the village of Kettlewell. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and it's on my list of places for days out in the future.

    Great photos Jo, I liked the tea party scarecrows. I agree with you about the scary one. Maybe it's Mrs. Rochester?

      Maybe it is, she does have a bit of a mad stare, doesn't she?

      They were all so good. This is one festival we've been to a few times and I never get tired of it.

      We really enjoyed it. The village itself is so beautiful so it's the perfect place to wander and spot all the different scarecrows.

    Hi Jo,

    What a fab place and a great selection of scarecrows! I will definitely try to make it there next year as we're now much closer to Yorkshire.

    Best wishes,

      It's a great day out, and there's so many other lovely places nearby too. Pehaps you could also visit Bolton Abbey if you haven't been before, I'm sure you'd love it there.

      We were watching as children saw characters they recognised, the Hungry Caterpillar seemed to be a favourite.

    They are fantastic Jo! It was lovely to see more of them. I really liked the feeding the lambs one, and the very hungry caterpillar too!! I thought that the one you thought was a bit scary was a bit scary as well. xx

      There were just so many great ones. I'm not sure what the scary one was, perhaps someone knows who it's meant to be.

    Wow! They're so creative. Some are a little scary, like you said, but all are so detailed and realistic!

      Some of them have so much detail, so much work must have gone in to making them. I love how there's some for both kids and adults too.

      The lamb one definitely has the awww factor. Even babies would recognise the Hungry Caterpillar, but I loved the board behind it telling the story for anyone who doesn't.
