Castle Park History Trail
This contains an online trail based on the Mediascape as well as links to the films about Bristol Castle.

Castle Park Historyscape
This provides information about Mediascapes and the downloadable Castle Park Historyscape for GPS devices.

When you arrive at the park and load the Mediascape to your device wait a few moments to get a satellite fix on your position. The best place to do this is if you stand in the open area between the Floating Harbour and St Peter's Church.

As you walk around the park you will hear pieces of audio and see images on the screen when you arrive at the locations marked on the trail leaflet. These audio clips were recorded during the Archaeology in the Park event.

Have fun and please let us know if you have any problems.

We will be adding more content to this Mediascape as we hold further events and activities in the park.
