St Albans Text Trail

About

This Text Trail provides a fun way to explore the city of St Albans! It's a classic treasure hunt with a modern twist: all directions and clues are delivered via text message, and you submit your answer by texting back!! You will be taken off the beaten track and will have small details pointed out to you, so a Text Trail is great whether you're local to St Albans or just visiting for the day. There are 2 Text Trail routes available in St Albans: the main route explores the majority of the city centre, with clues covering historical figures who shaped today's high street, the famous St Albans Abbey, as well as drawing your eye to some of the finer details, names, and dates which decorate this beautiful historic area. The second option touches some but not all of these sights, as it is designed to be slightly shorter, for those who aren't able (or inclined!!) to walk as far. Visit the Text Trails website to fully understand the differences between the two options.
