Show me the way to go gnome!

A tourist attraction has applied for planning permission to stick a gnome on a pole in a bid to lure visitors through its gates.

Up to 3,000 people a year already visit Gnome Magic, Dedham, to spot the little fellows.

Now owner Michael Bridges is on a drive to really put the attraction on the map.

His gardens in Old London Road are home to hundreds of brightly-coloured characters sitting around doing whatever gnomes do.

Gnome Magic is already signposted from the A12. Planners will decide whether the new gnome on a pole gets the go-ahead.
