Our website is brilliant for seeing extra information about each artist, and up to six images of their work. You can even use it to plan your own artists' trail with map and driving details.

  2. Browse through the artists. When you find one you love, click the 'Save to your favourites' button. You can see all your favourites by clicking on the 'My Favourites' button at the top of every page.
  3. Click on 'My Trails'. On this page you can set your start and finish points, and select or deselect each artist you want on that particular trail. You can even choose driving, walking or bicycling. Click 'Create Trail'. The map and navigation can be used in Google maps.
