A kids' activity that becomes a souvenir

A popular activity for children as they explore the city walls. Strategically placed along the length of the walls there are metal plaques. These have a relief of a section of the walls on them, together with illustrations.

Like a brass rubbing, these build up to a full souvenir map of the route, complete with pictures.

You'll need a wax crayon or soft pencil and a sheet of A4 paper for each child. Instructions are on the metal plates.

Tip Go along to the information centre and they will provide you with what you need for free.
