Kingfisher Trail 2021

Two TRAILS - 22 sculptures 
The Kingfisher Trail is a fantastic arts trail of 22 wonderful kingfisher sculptures which have been decorated by some of our most talented local artists for public display in and around the Cotswolds National Landscape in 2021. Residents and visitors are invited to follow the trail in the summer of 2021, get out into nature and enjoy the outstanding natural beauty of the Cotswolds region. The Kingfisher Trail is designed to bring businesses, arts and local communities together and at the end of the project all of these wonderful sculptures will be auctioned to art lovers and businesses to raise funds for the vital conservation work (for projects that support children and young people in the Cotswolds National Landscape.) of the Cotswolds National Landscape.

In the west, the Severn Trail follows the tributaries of the River Severn and the Cotswold Way along the dramatic escarpment.

In the east, the Thames Trail links stunning Cotswold villages and the waterways and tributaries of the River Thames.

Each trail has a series of magnificent kingfisher sculptures, painted by local artists.

The 21st kingfisher – the Flying kingfisher – will swoop to a new location each fortnight!

The 22nd kingfisher – the Golden kingfisher – can be found perching at Iford Manor Gardens.
