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.
