A LOCAL community art project will give walkers the chance to tackle a different kind of "root".
The project, called Root 66, is a tree trail of 15 mosiacs designed by students of Calder High, Mytholmroyd, and placed on stumps along a woodland track at the end of Holmes Park, Station Road, Luddenden Foot.

The mosaics are based on a 6,000-year-old druid tree language called Ogham and will tell stories for keen-eyed walkers to spot on their way.

Alison McCabe, a Calderdale community artist who helped organise the two-year project, said: "It has been absolutely fantastic to do and so many people have put in so much work on this.

"It is all about a celebration of trees and the route will be as much fun to walk around as it was to do."

A community event on midsummer's day, June 21, at the site between 3pm and 6pm will celebrate the opening of the exhibition with mountain biking, a barbecue, a DJ and bouncy castle all on offer..
