In this family garden trail, find the brightly coloured plaques within our Landscape garden as children can create their very own charcoal rubbings - inspired by Hestercombe's history with making charcoal at our Charcoal Burner's Camp.
This is a fantastic sensory trail, designed to have little artists thinking creatively as they search around for new textures and patterns for their paper artworks.
