Since 2003 many societies have created Church Trails at local churches, increasing the enjoyment of visitors and giving an insight into the art, architecture and contents of the church. In 2017 the trails became Children's Trails to reflect the change to creating trails for other places of worship and historic buildings. Due to the ever increasing diversity of trails it was decided in 2018 to now use the name Trails of Discovery.
Trails of Discovery will encompass Children's Trails at churches, other places of worship and other historic buildings, and Memory Trails for people living with dementia. This trail does not have the traditional question and answer sheets, but is a sheet providing prompts for conversation and to evoke memories. Recently art, branch line, town, village and garden trails have been created. If you know somewhere that would benefit from a trail, we can advise you!
