Questions and answers about the trail

Q. Is the trail free?

A. Yes!


Q. How far is it?

A.  It is 1 mile.


Q. When can it be done?

A. During lockdown the answers to the clues in the church will be posted on St. Mary’s church door so you can complete the trail at anytime. Once the church has re-opened then please complete the trail before 4.00 p.m. (when St. Mary’s church closes each day).


Q. What do I need?

A. A printed copy of the trail and a pencil, unless you do it on your device.


Q. Can I do it on my device?

A. Yes, you can download a PDF designed to be completed on a device. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader installed from the App Store or Play Store. Once downloaded open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you discover that the PDF is not interactive you may have opened it in your mobile browser, whereas you must open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader.


Q.  Who is it suitable for?

A. It is a pavement walk which is suitable for buggies but not wheelchairs.  In order to complete it successfully you will need to be observant, able to read, write, count, do simple sums and cross roads safely.  Children of primary school age will probably need an adult to help them. It is probably not suitable for children under 7 years. Dogs on leads would also be fine.


Q.  What if I don’t have a printer or a device?

A.  You can buy the trail in black and white or colour from Wessex Business Solutions on Overton High Street.
