Salford City Council is excited to announce the return of nine new sculptures on the popular ‘Fairy Tale Trail’ at Clifton Country Park. These sculptures, featuring animals, mythical characters, and a fairy house, have been installed on the original route after the previous ones were stolen earlier this year.
The sculptures were originally funded with the help of the Friends of Clifton Country Park. It has been a favourite among families and children since it opened in 2017. The new sculptures are set to restore the fun and magic of the trail.
Councillor Bentham Lead Member for Neighbourhoods, Environment and Community Safety, said, “We’re thrilled to restore the Fairy Tale Trail. We’re dedicated to maintaining our parks and green spaces, and even though we faced the challenge of the stolen sculptures, we’re proud to have replaced them quickly. The Fairy Tale Trail is a great way for families to enjoy the outdoors, and it’s wonderful to see everyone enjoying the park again.”
Visitors have already started sharing their excitement about the new sculptures. Rangers at the park report that the community is delighted to see the trail back in full. A park ranger added, “We’ve had many happy visitors, especially the younger ones, who are thrilled to see the sculptures back.”
With the sunny weather, now is the perfect time for families to visit Clifton Country Park, enjoy the fresh air, and explore the Fairy Tale Trail.
