The first four books, Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter Story all published in September 1980. After a feature article in the\u00a0 Sunday Times, the books had to be reprinted due to demand and the phone rang off the hook with enquiries. Here in the middle of the second decade of the twenty first century, it seems you are all still quite keen on the little community of hedgerow mice!<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s take it right back to the beginning, to the late 1970s to be more precise. Jill Barklem, author of the Brambly Hedge books, lived on the edge of Epping Forest, located just to the north east of London. She would often head off into the forest to draw and photograph trees, something she had always done, but this time it was for a new project, a project that would become the Brambly Hedge books.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This year the mice are returning to Epping Forest! In Summer 2025 a new <a href=\"https:\/\/bramblyhedge.com\/epping-forest-trail\/\">Brambly Hedge Sculpture Trail<\/a> will open in Epping Forest. The first figurines arrived in a very muddy Epping Forest and were installed in February, just in time for the Duke of Gloucester\u2019s visit to Epping Forest to celebrate his 50<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary as Ranger of the Forest. There are seventeen figurines in total to find when the Trail opens this summer. The Trail will start at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cityoflondon.gov.uk\/things-to-do\/green-spaces\/epping-forest\/donate-to-epping-forest\/completed-sculptures-and-trails-project\">Epping Forest Visitor Centre<\/a> in Chingford and head up the newly created Gloucester Ride, and round the lake at Connaught Water. We would like to thank everyone who helped make the Brambly Hedge Trail possible, including the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cityoflondon.gov.uk\/things-to-do\/green-spaces\/epping-forest\/donate-to-epping-forest\/completed-sculptures-and-trails-project\">City of London Corporation<\/a>\u00a0and Rural England Prosperity Funding via Epping Forest District Council.\u00a0Watch this space for more news on the Epping Forest Trail.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keeping with Trails\u2026 we had a wonderful response from many of you who visited our Sea Story Trail at <a href=\"https:\/\/bramblyhedge.com\/abbotsbury-swannery-trail-2025\/\">Abbotsbury Swannery<\/a> in 2024.
