Story Trails

Come and explore our Story Trails!

These family-friendly trails are easy access countryside walks of around a mile long. Each trail has its own special story to be shared with children (and adults!) along the way.

'More than just a walk' - Story Trails encourage children to explore, touch, smell, listen and enjoy. The aim is to entertain and engage children of all ages and abilities, so that families can enjoy some of Hampshire’s lovely countryside together.

Story bags to borrow

Each trail also has its own special bag with puppets, toys and other items that will help to bring the story to life.
There is one bag for each Story Trail, so loans are subject to availability - for more information, please contact the staff at each location.

A £20 returnable deposit is required for bags from museums and visitor centre locations. Bags collected from libraries will be issued on your library card.
