What are trails? 24 Hour Museum trails are in-depth web features specially written to show off the best of the UK's museums, galleries and heritage sites.

Plenty of photographs, lots of links and easy to find contact details make an interesting read. Some trails can be followed physically, some virtually and some are themed mini-web sites, like trail for Harry Potter fans.

Our trails will give you plenty of ideas for things to do and places to visit - some can be followed in a day, others might take longer.
