THE LAST QUEEN

​

A fresh folk tale in the woods at Horner Water. Allow an hour and a half, longer if it is warm enough to bath. There is also a hidden bell to ring within an old hollow tree...



The Queen is dying, Long live the Queen!

THE WATCHING WAY

 

Allow 2 hours for this walk that departs from Dulverton church. The story will lead you through the woods so sturdy footwear is advised.



After a fall the young narrator recalls hearing voices coming up from the earth, on this journey she discovers the truth and much, much more. Interactive elements are in the story line also, so expect to be crafting as well as walking.

 

THE WINDING CHARM

 

This walk explores the village of Dunster - think you know the village then think again. An interactive story where you are encouraged to create 'art' from found objects. Allow a couple of hours especially if little ones are joining you -  although distance wise you will only cover 1 mile. Wear wellies as I am sure no one will be able to resist a paddle at some stage!

 

TYPHUS

​

This tale follows on from the characters in The Winding Charm, but do not worry if you haven't read the first walk, as the story stands alone. Starting from the beach at Porlock Weir your journey will take you through ancient woodland. There are some steep climbs and the path can be muddy so is recommended for the more intrepid. Allow 3 hours to amble the 3.5 miles

Instruction and Installation
 

​Listed below are the titles and locations of my Storywalks, plus a brief outline of each story. Each walk installs itself through a web page, and once downloaded (which will only take a moment on Wifi) there is no need to be connected to the internet or have any mobile reception at all. Smart phones or a 3G iPad are essential as this project pushes the current tech to it's limits.

​

So which tale and trail will you choose?

THE HANGING MAZE

 

Allow 2 hours for this walk that departs from Gallox bridge in Dunster and carries you over the hills and into another world.

 

A great narrative storywalk which asks you to become part of the journey.

 

Suitable for all ages and starts at a grass maze cut by the author.

 

THE PARKS WALKS MINEHEAD

​

Three trails about the hostory and folklore about the trees living in this international arboretum. This walk is not a story but more a skimming stone of interesting facts about the trees and place.
