The Snail Trail – a brand-new free art trail for families in Ampthill Park!

We’ve commissioned local community artist and art psychotherapist Ross Bolwell-Williams to work with local children to create a vibrant art trail in Ampthill Park. Year 3 students from The Firs Lower School collaborated with Ross, sharing their creative ideas to design their own bold prints and patterns.

These wonderful 3D creations have been brought to life, and this escargatoire (group of snails!) has been installed onto trees in the park, providing families with a colourful surprise to brighten up their woodland walks.

The Snail Trail is now open! Come along and give this delightful, family-friendly adventure a try.

To help guide families on their quest to find the snails, free activity resources are available to collect from Ampthill Town Council (next to The Coffee Lodge in Ampthill Park). You can also download a copy below:

As this activity is in an open public space, we kindly ask residents to look after the snails and treat them with care and kindness.

This wonderful initiative is supported through the Central Beds UKSPF funded ‘Ampthill Almanac Project’.
