There are 20 decorated robins hidden around Fitzhead, follow the clues to find them. It’s a 3km circular route around the village, mostly following local footpaths and ending at St James’ Church. Robins will be out until 8 January.
The trail starts opposite Cridlands and ends at the church. The robins are numbered and can be found in that order. Covid rules require a face covering to be worn in the church if there are others in the building. Please sign in and use the hand sanitiser.
If you have enjoyed the trials, donations welcome for Taunton Open Door, a day care centre for Taunton’s homeless community. For information and to donate online go to Open Door.
