From the 20th July to 8th September, pick up a trail sheet and join Shaun in a brand new augmented reality trail experience around our beautiful gardens.


Can 'ewe' find all 9 markers hidden around our gardens? Scan the markers on the trail with your phone to see Shaun and the Flock appear before your eyes in 3D.


You'll be able to help Bitzer find the Flock, play musical stat-ewes, take fun photos and videos to share with friends and family and try and complete Bitzer's checklist!


All you need to do is download the app on your phone via the App Store or Google Play and add our location code '2828' to enjoy the AR trail at Hestercombe. You can do this at home before your visit or at the Ticket Office on arrival.
