NARROGIN HERITAGE WALK TRAIL
The Narrogin Heritage Walk Trail is a fascinating 1,250m stroll through the town’s early settlement history. The circuit includes many of the historic buildings that tell the story of European settlement, and help tell the Stories of Us - of all those people who’ve made Narrogin their home through the years. The trail is designed for one-way travel in a clockwise direction, and commences outside the visitor centre, on the corner of Park and Fairway Streets – although you can join it anywhere along the route. The trail is marked with black-on-silver triangles affixed to the footpath at regular intervals. These are particularly clear at turns and street crossings, while the walk trail’s interpretive panels also help define the way ahead. In most cases panels are visible from some distance away. The Heritage Walk Trail showcases significant aspects of the cultural and built history of the town via a series of engaging and attractive interpretive panels. Download the pdf guide to your device with the link below, or pop into the visitor centre and grab a printed version.
