Tredegar House
Tredegar House is owned by the National Trust has a sensory trail which goes across it’s lands and highlights the different senses to the users. This trail is perfect for people with visual impairments as it focuses on more senses rather than just sight, which is often the focus of gardens especially traditional ones. Throughout the site there are braille signs, however these could be difficult to find for visually impaired people, in order to combat this the National Trust has created a digital map of the land. To aid with creating sensory trails the sensory trust has created a guide to aid designers. The guide that a sensory trail are primarily aimed at people with disabilities, however they don’t have to be exclusively used by disabled people. Sensory trails can be used to “give people the opportunity to listen, touch, smell and look more closely” than they may otherwise.
