Interpretation specialists Imagemakers Design and Consulting has scripted and recorded a mobitour audio tour for Whitlingham Country Park in Norfolk.
It was commissioned by The Broads Authority - together with Whitlingham Charitable Trust - as part an integrated interpretation scheme for the 280-acre site of water, woodland and meadows, known as 'The Gateway to the Broads'.
It takes in a three-mile walk around the park’s two broads with nine tactile story posts marking the stops along the route.
Visitors can listen to a range of stories about the park’s cultural history and wildlife, with layered audio interpretation enabling them to choose just how much information they want to discover.
The tour is fully accessible and can be accessed by ringing 01603 510599 (a local Norwich number) and is available for up to 48 hours at a cost of £1.50 plus a local phone call.
The walk is part of a much larger scheme including an internal exhibition area, exterior welcome, orientation and interpretation panels and a site leaflet. The scheme was funded by Norfolk Environmental Waste Services, Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund and English Heritage.
Whitlingham Country Park was formed by gravel workings and now has two broads, woodlands and meadows just to the south east of Norwich city centre.
It is managed by the Whitlingham Charitable Trust, The Broads Authority and Norfolk County Council.

attractions, and family-friendly hotels. But the offering that truly stands out with fun
for everyone is Studio City Water Park – Macau’s first stand-alone water park, with all
the water slides and aquatic play structures supplied by WhiteWater. |
