A new sculpture trail that includes peacocks, giant stags and butterflies, all made from metal, has been set up by a farmer.

Nigel Parfitt, from near Chippenham, has put aside some woodland for local artists to display their work.

Mr Parfitt said: "It's giving people a chance to connect with nature and see these wonderful sculptures here.

"The art is nature-inspired. It will take on its own identity as it grows."

Anna Enright is from Swindon's Podpadstudios, which makes work out of scrap metal.

She told BBC Radio Wiltshire: "Throughout the seasons, as the space changes, with different sculptures in here that will be really cool, because the different colours will come out."
