'Snailsham's' Snail Trail
A new snail trail has arrived in Aylsham to celebrate the historic buildings in the town.
The snail trail is comprised of 22 different snails, each created to a different design, made in a variety of materials. Each ”snail character” identifies a key historical feature of the Town. Each snail has its own QR code to follow to take you to the historical information about each building on the snail trail website . There is also be a printed guide to follow if preferred. which is available from the Heritage Centre.
There are 22 snails in total. Six are stone carvings created by Teucer Wilson, one is a wooden carving and another is made of metal. Four are rubbing posts so you can collect snail images on the way round the route and the remaining snails are illustrated by Aylsham based artists.
The centrepiece of the trail is our giant snail painted by Aylsham based artist Mik Richardson and christened 'Diddy Dodderman' following suggestions from local residents.
