The Lynton and Lynmouth Scarecrow Festival
You know it is August here in Lynton (and to a lesser extent below in Lynmouth ) when these strange characters start cropping up around the village, sometimes in gardens, sometimes on balconies, in fact in all sorts of strange places. This is a relatively recent addition to the local scene and no-one I have spoken to is quite sure exactly who started it but it has certainly become popular and some of the scarecrows have obviously taken quite a bit of time and imagination - see travelog on this page for more pics.
