Uphill Trail
This was the augmented reality nature trail of audio and animated illustrations located in Uphill.
The sound stop signs were installed from July to November 2025 – these were green circles, each showing an amazing animal that lives in the Mendip Hills.
A free app on smart phones was used to view the image in the green circle, which then came to life as the audio played. You can still listen to the audio and find out about the animals below!
