Trail

Inspired by the wildlife often spotted around the museum site and the animal residents at our farm, willow artist Anna Cross has created a beautiful collection of willow sculptures for you to discover as you explore outdoors. Anna used a range of willow varieties to capture the character of the animals, from our well-loved farm cat to a soaring buzzard.
