Tour of Britain: 'A hedgehog on a bike? I couldn't believe it'

A giant piece of artwork has been unveiled in a Nottinghamshire village as the Tour of Britain cyclists passed by.

The design, which shows a hedgehog riding a bike, was put together by wildlife enthusiasts in the village of Keyworth, Nottinghamshire, with the help of children from a local primary school.

The village has become known for its hedgehog-friendly schemes, such as creating holes in garden fences to allow the creatures to pass through - known as a hedgehog highway.

The composition is made up of recycled material, including wood and towels.

Artist Liz Waddell, from Keyworth, who designed the work, said: "The first time we saw it on the drone, I don't think we believed it."
