VISITORS to a woodland are guaranteed to see all sorts of creatures, including a badger, dragonfly, fox and woodpecker.

They can be seen on a one-mile circular trail that winds through a section of the 1,000-acre Guisborough Forest.

The creatures are sculptures, made from sycamore, beech and fir. They are the work of chainsaw sculptor Steve Iredale, of Staithes, North Yorkshire, who was signed up for the project by the Forestry Commission and Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council.

Ranger Cath Brason said: "The sculpture trail is a brilliant new attraction in its own right, and will be a sure-fire hit with youngsters. But it is also a great reason for people to go for a walk and do themselves a power of good."
