Aldershot Heritage Trails

Hướng dẫn riêng cho sáu chuyến đi bộ khám phá di sản và lịch sử của Aldershot

The app provides guides to a series of six trails exploring the civilian and military history of Aldershot. Along all the trails stories will automatically appear as you follow the routes. Audio commentaries, historic images and text tell the story of Aldershot and its place in history as the ‘Home of the British Army’, focussing on people, places, buildings, and events. Along the Town Trail there are augmented reality and interactive features which help bring history to life in an informative and enjoyable way.

The six trails are: the Town Trail, which explores historic sites in the town centre from the Victorian era and the early twentieth century; the Village Trail, which looks at the early history of Aldershot when it was a small rural village and its growth after the 1850s; the Wellington Trail which explores the south-west of the old Army camp and the west of the town; the Redan Trail which covers the south-east area of the Army camp and parts of the eastern side of the civilian town; the Marlborough Trail which explores the history of Aldershot Garrison, the ‘Home of the British Army’; and the Stanhope Trail which covers the area of the former Stanhope Lines across the centre of the old Army camp, now the civilian Wellesley development.

The trails interconnect, so the visitor can choose to explore parts of multiple trails is they want to.

This app makes use of GPS to show you places of interest close to your current location. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
