Holbeach Discovery Trail is now up and running, ready for the digital age

The trail has been created by members of the Holbeach Action Group to encourage members of the public to walk around the town centre and discover more about the town.

The route is about 1.5 miles and takes in points of interest which could be historical, nature or art. There are 15 points in total and each has a mobile phone-accessible QR code to scan to give you information about that particular point of interest.

The information can also be found on Holbeach Parish Council website so that the public can download it before setting off if they prefer. A large map in the centre of town shows the route.

The parish council stated: "Over the next few months we hope to add more artwork along the route to give people more things to discover and also enhance the town.

"If the route is successful we may look to extend it or add a cycle route.

"We also hope that schools will use it to help teach pupils more about the town and encourage them to use our open spaces."

The trail has been funded by the Holbeach Action Group, district councillor Tracey Carter and sponsorship by local business, and will be managed by Holbeach Parish Council.
