High Street Trails

Does your class, group or society want to learn more about Watford's local history?  

Led by our Learning Officer, these walking tours start from the museum and lead all the way up to St Mary’s Church.  On the way, children can spot the date of buildings, find out about Watford’s old Police station, see traces of the old market, meet Watford FC’s hornet and discover the Fig Tree Tomb tale!

​

This tour introduces children to the changing architectural and social history of Watford’s High Street.  It can be tailored to any age group (both primary and secondary), with a maximum of 30 children.  £2 per child, booking essential.
