Carlton Miniott Scarecrow Festival July 24, 2011

Today I took loads of photos of scarecrows in the pretty village of Carlton Minniot near Thirsk North Yorkshire.This craze has really taken off in North Yorkshire, with many villages doing it to raise funds for various things. I liked the theme of this Scarecrow Festival, children's stories. There was an abundance of famous characters, see if you can guess who they are.

Bransdale

Bransdale in North Yorkshire may appear to some as being a wild, featureless wasteland. I beg to differ.

The air is clean, the people are few and friendly. The views are amazing. The church is thirteenth century.

Keep checking this blog for some more photos of this beautiful area as the year progresses.
