Start at the Visitor Centre
127 High Street is stop zero. From there the pins are numbered in a sensible walking order — about 10.9 km if you do the lot, though most people pick off a few streets at a time.

Walking the trail
Three things worth knowing
02
Look, but please don’t touch
Nearly every scarecrow sits in someone’s front garden or shop window. Stay on the footpath and the nature strip, and give the makers a wave if you see them.
03
Tick them off as you go
Every scarecrow has a tick box on the map and in the list. Your progress is saved on your own phone — no sign-up, and nothing leaves your device.
