Trails of Discovery

Children’s Trails are an engaging way of encouraging children to discover and be inspired by a place of worship, an historic building or a town through its art, artefacts, and social history.

Trails for people living with dementia have been designed to evoke memories and prompt conversation with family or carers.

Neighbourhood Trails are a new addition to Trails of Discovery. These trails are for families to discover places of interest, art, architecture, local history, and culture within an area. There are walking trails and most recently trails on Rail Branch Line journeys.
