It is the fifth running of the annual event, which takes place over eight days.
Organiser and parish council chairman Delia Riddle said: “It is great fun when you see people with trail directions in their hands and kids giggling at the scarecrows.
“There are a few surprises of ones that aren’t on the map for people to see.”

A variety of scarecrows have been put together by residents, including a string of scarecrows made by the 4th Sawtry Brownies pack and animals outside the Cromwell Vet Group.
“Everyone stops and laughs at my one this year as it is a grandma scarecrow with green wellies on sitting with a cup of tea in her hand,” said Cllr Riddle.
The event is running until Sunday.
