“If you’re anywhere in Britain this August then run, don’t walk, to the Kettlewell Scarecrow Festival in Yorkshire,” Mark Vanhoenacker writes this week in @nytimestravel. Mark is an airline pilot and writer who’s traveled all over the world, but this event tops his list. Each August, the picturesque village fetes the arrival of around 100 new straw-stuffed citizens. Scarecrows have a long history in England. (One of the first literary references came in Edmund Spenser’s late 16th-century “The Faerie Queene.”) But scarecrow festivals are understood to be a modern tradition. The basics are easy to grasp: For around a week each summer, Kettlewell’s residents decorate the benches, lawns, and nooks and crannies of their village with locally crafted #scarecrows, any, often inspired by historical or literary characters. (Last year’s event featured a Queen Victoria, a David Bowie and at least 4 President Trumps.) @andyhaslamphoto took these photos in #Kettlewell.
