A giant piece of artwork showing a hedgehog riding a bike has been crowned the winner of the Tour of Britain's land art competition.Children helped to create the image ahead of the cycle race passing through Keyworth in September.Image caption,Dale Road was crowned winner of Britain's Biggest Hedgehog Street earlier this month by two wildlife charities.
The design was inspired by the village's hedgehog-friendly schemes, including a drive to create holes in garden fences to allow the vulnerable mammals to pass through people's gardens, known as a hedgehog highway. Jennifer Manning-Ohren, founder of Wild Things Keyworth, which was behind the hedgehog highway, said: "It was a wonderful, shared experience and I am so happy to have been a part of it.
"We are really attached to Spike and we are hoping to get smaller versions in place around the village."The image was captured on ITV4's live feed of the competition via a drone. Artist Liz Waddell, said: "It was such a thrill when the drone went up and we saw what we had created - just from a hasty sketch on an A4 piece of paper, found materials and no experience of this kind of thing before."He said: "It was fascinating to learn about community work involved in the Keyworth hedgehog highway and being able to share this cause with others fills me with joy.
Thank you.
