Saltwells Pumpkin Trail
If you go down to the wood today, (or over the next week or so), you may be in for a BIG surprise! The Friends of Saltwells Pumpkin trail has now been installed at Saltwells wood and will be up during the school half term holiday. This is a self-guided trail- just follow the purple arrows around the sculpture trail from the car park and see if you can spot all of the pumpkins and the spider's web. Have fun!
