About the trail
The trail starts at Memorial Common car park and follows the main path around the Common. It is approximately 0.8 miles long. Walk onto the playing fields and with your back to the car park, head diagonally right to the gate at the far side of the field. Follow the arrows on the map and look out for signs and clues to show you are on track. There are 8 pictures to find of animals and wildlife that live on the Common. Right down the first letter of each one and at the end unscramble the letters to make a word.
