Counting Shaun the Sheep

When my cousin asked me if I wanted to do the Shaun in the City mission and find 50 Shaun the Sheep sculptures around London I wasn't sure, but within 15 mins I was loving it as I realised it was just like a big treasure hunt, which I love, just without the clues. Despite my reservations I have to say it was so much fun!

The Shaun the Sheep sculptures have been designed by artists, designers and celebrities, and are located across London. There is an app you can download or get a paper map showing you where all the sheep are located. It then just up to you to choose which Shaun you want to see first. The Shaun the Sheep will be in London until 31st May before another 70 sculptures go on show in Bristol between 6 July to 31 August - we will be heading down to Bristol to take on our next Shaun the Sheep mission.

If you have never been to London the trail is a great way to see lots of different parts of the city, while taking on a kind of treasure hunt. If you like me live in London or have visited before, the trail is a great way to explore new and different parts of London, which was the case for me.

The Shaun in the City trail is completely free all you need is some comfy shoes, the app or map of where all the Shauns are and maybe a travel card as its worth getting the tube to some of the locations as they are a fair distance away. Just a heads up we walked about 10 miles on our first day finding the sheep and found 45 of them, it took us 2 days to see all 50 but we could have done it in 1 day.

If you want to find some of the Shaun the Sheep in London you still have time, the sculptures will be around until 31st May, before a new 70 sculptures go on show in Bristol. Below are photos of all 50 Shaun the Sheep that are around London - if you are hoping to find some of them before the end of the month and don't want the surprise ruined I suggest you don't scroll down lol! :)
