INSPIRING Text Art
The Natural Wonder Trails
Four fantastic nature trails
Part of the beauty of Natural Wonder are text art nature trails which are located across the beautiful Norfolk countryside and landscape. These trails allow you to experience the wonder of nature, whilst complimented by a curated set of poems and text art installations created by residents in Norfolk.
The trails include series of poems by Ruthie Collins, funded by Arts Council England.
Discover texts and creative responses inspired by the natural world in this inspiring trail across North Norfolk in rural and coastal locations – from the beach huts of Cromer, to Fakenham Library.
Take part in challenges set by children to connect you to the natural world.
We are pleased to share a new Fairy Door trail at Holt, made in collaboration with schools in North Norfolk, Norwich Men’s Shed, Norfolk Libraries and Friends of Holt Library – thanks to support from North Norfolk District Council and Holt Town Council.
