The Bishop Auckland Town Trail was a project completed in 2005. The project included eight large panels placed in and around Bishop Auckland, Trail leaflet and schools workshops. There was a number of funding bodies involved including the Heritage Lottery Fund.
The project was set up to create a series of circular trails that would incorporate sites of historical interest in Bishop's Auckland.
Three main themes have developed:
* Built Heritage Trail
* Auckland Park Nature Walk (flora and fauna)
* Christian Heritage Trail
The resulting panels display a wealth of information linked into themes and include illustrations, maps, historical photographs, childrens drawings and historical text.
