Bishop Auckland Town Trails
Location: Durham
The project was set up to create a series of circular trails that would incorporate sites of historical interest in Bishop's Auckland.
Three main themes have developed:
* Built Heritage Trail
* Auckland Park Nature Walk (flora and fauna)
* Christian Heritage Trail
The Built Heritage Trail will encompass a number of fine listed buildings in the town centre. Bishops Park and the Riverside walks will increase the public awareness and enjoyment of the natural heritage of the town. A Christian Trail will link the archaeological heritage from Roman. Saxon and later Christian times, the Saxon influence embodied in the church at Escombe.
Groundwork West Durham have given money to the project to help unify the information boards that will be sited around the town. Groups including the Civic Society and Evergreens, with their wealth of knowledge and appreciation, are assisting with the history of the listed buildings and buildings of interest in the town centre.
