During the past few months three Trails of Discovery have been completed in the South-West Area, each created for a different audience.

The first is a Children's Trail in St Michael's Church, Porthilly in North Cornwall. This church, dating back to the 12th Century has many interesting elements which have been featured in the trail for children to find and answer questions, increasing their knowledge and interest in their local church and its history.
