About

St Albans Cathedral’s Geography Trails, for your students during your visit.

St Albans Cathedral’s the Land of the Monks trail. Making use of the Cathedral building and the surrounding grounds, this interactive trail gives students the opportunity to explore the medieval historyย of the Abbey as well as theย geography of the location. Ideal for Key Stage 2, it also allows students to develop enquiry skillsย in which can be used in any local history or geography setting.

Most schools combine two activities, usually a trail and a workshop, to make a whole day of their visit. Trails include drama and artefacts to help students develop their learning, whilst workshops allow them to create a piece of artwork to take home at the end of the visit.
