About Us

What We Provide

Just imagine walking along a woodland path or by the side of a gently flowing river. Or maybe you are standing on top of a steep hill looking out over rolling green fields that stretch across the landscape as far as the inviting blue sea on the horizon.

Now, imagine that as you walk you discover a page from an adventure book. As you continue walking you find another page and then another and another. Suddenly, you realise you are following a story. This is a Trail Story.

We can make this magic happen for your visitor attraction/venue and once we have created a unique story just for you, your visitor numbers will increase, your revenue will increase and public awareness will increase.

Our lead writer has over 45 years experience as an author and TV scriptwriter and we have a dedicated team of industry professionals, all of whom have successful careers in the creative industries, including artists and illustrators, sound engineers and producers, musicians and voice artists.

Based on the information you provide and our team’s visits to your location, we create a unique story for you. This is then professionally recorded as an audio story using experienced narrators, sound effects and music. The story is uploaded and made available on our innovative Trail Stories app. In addition, the story is also published as a high quality print book and can also be made available as an eBook. These books are available for you to sell from your gift shops, and we also offer a mail order service via the Trail Stories website.

In partnership with you, we create and design a physical trail with interactive trail markers and maps linked to the story. This added attraction to your venue will provide families with a brand new exciting and adventurous experience.

We will work in partnership with you to promote your new Trail Story on our social media channels and via other PR outlets.

To find out more about how we work and to enquire about a unique story for your venue/attraction, please contact us for an informal discussion.
