If you’re looking for something different to do in Devon, you might be interested to hear that we have a permanent Brass Rubbing Trail that’s great for all weather!

The trail is just £2, including a booklet & crayons which can be kept as a keepsake of your visit. Open to all ages: We most recommend it for ages 4 – 10 (& younger children with supervision).

It was installed in 2018 as a heritage project for the site, intended to last for many years. We love traditional pastimes here!

Exeter-based artist Clare Elsom provided drawings which bring the trail to life: “It has been really interesting working on a project in Devon which will impact so many locals and tourists… I really think the whole family will love it, no matter their age.”

We proactively worked to bring other local suppliers into the mix: the Paignton-based firm Ensign Engraving provided plaques for the trail, and Exeter-based Brightsea Print printed the booklets.

The Brass Rubbing Trail will help you learn about the House of Marbles and all the fun things on site, as well as discover the various nooks and crannies that can be found throughout the premises.

While aimed primarily at children, we know that people of any age will want to give it a go, and they are more than welcome to!
