Early this morning we went in search of scarecrows at a local village called Crosby on Eden<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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<\/p>\n

\"Speed<\/a>

One of the first scarecrows we came across was a Policeman standing by the roadside armed with a speedgun.<\/p>\n

This character has made the headlines in many of the national <\/a>and local <\/a>newspapers as drivers are slowing down as they spot him from a distance, thinking he is a real policeman.<\/p>\n

Dad wondered if once the scarecrow festival is over the local Constabulary<\/a> will position officers here in the future to impose the 30mph speed limit in the village.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The local newspaper <\/a>has reported that four of the scarecrows had been stolen but have since been returned.<\/p>\n

Here is our gallery of some of the scarecrows we spotted.<\/p>\n
