Stick Man

Our larger-than-life Stick Man, who you'll find at the start of our Stick Man Trail, will be taking a well-earned break until 16 November and won't be accessible to view during this time.  The Stick Man Trail will remain fully accessible over this period, and all other carvings will be available to view along the route.
