Families looking for an exciting and interactive way to kickstart the year and encourage their children to enjoy the countryside should visit Wiltshire and sample its new interactive walks along King Alfred’s Trail.
These four treasure hunts have been added to the existing King Alfred Trail, located in the Vale of Pewsey and along the banks of the picturesque Kennet and Avon Canal, in the heart of Wiltshire. The walks vary in length from a little over a mile to four and a half miles. Along the route you will find a collection of 20 brass rubbings, each displaying a picture of a plant, insect or animal that may be spotted while you walk.
The idea behind this addition to King Alfred’s Trail is that children and adults can enjoy a fun and educational day in the country. Simply take along a pad and pencil or crayons and search out the brass rubbings as you walk.
You can find all the information you need including clues, grid references, the route map and a feedback form on the VisitWiltshire website.
