Early this morning we went in search of scarecrows at a local village called Crosby on Eden.
The annual scarecrow trail is taking place in the village this bank holiday weekend organised by Crosby on Eden Parish Council in aid of church funds
One of the first scarecrows we came across was a Policeman standing by the roadside armed with a speedgun.
This character has made the headlines in many of the national and local newspapers as drivers are slowing down as they spot him from a distance, thinking he is a real policeman.
Dad wondered if once the scarecrow festival is over the local Constabulary will position officers here in the future to impose the 30mph speed limit in the village.
Arranged as a trail the scarecrows are to be found up many of the side streets and on the main A689 as you approach the village from Carlisle.
The local newspaper has reported that four of the scarecrows had been stolen but have since been returned.
Here is our gallery of some of the scarecrows we spotted.
