Wray, Lancashire, the 'original Scarecrow Village'

The village of Wray lies in the rural heart of north Lancashire alongside the banks of the little River Roeburn with a population of less than 500.

Every year the village holds a Scarecrow Festival in the week leading up to Wray Fair, held on May Day.
