The trail will take place from Saturday 26th October to Sunday 3rd November and is designed to engage different senses and is particularly suitable for children with special educational needs or disabilities.

Simply bring a pencil, collect an activity booklet and follow the trail around the Castle grounds and into the Town Centre to discover what you can hear, smell and touch outdoors and amongst nature.
