Bring the kids on an adventure through Swindon’s historic Railway Village this October Half-Term. Explore the Children’s Heritage Story Trail based on Hannah Dosanjh’s book: ‘A Railway Town called Swindon‘.
This really offers something for the whole family to enjoy together: Following the same route as the Works Heritage Trail, adults and children can both enjoy the same walk. This self-guided heritage trail is designed to bring books out into the streets. A fun, free way for families to explore Swindon’s Railway Village.
Children’s Heritage Story Trail Details
The approximately one mile, flat trail starts outside the Bristol Street Tunnel. It follows the route of the Works Heritage Trail to take in GWR Park and the Railway Village including Emlyn Square, the Water Tower, Central Community Centre, the Platform and the Railway Village Museum. Solve questions about Swindon’s history at each of the 15 stops.
