New tree trail invites visitors to explore Street’s heritage and nature
By Laura Linham 13th Nov 2026
A new trail through Clarks Village and the Shoemakers Museum is inviting visitors to discover some of Street's mature trees and learn about their history.
The permanent, self-guided route begins by the entrance to the Clarks Village adventure playground and finishes at the museum. QR codes beside the trees provide information about their history and place in the local landscape.
The trail was launched by Clarks Village, the Shoemakers Museum and grounds management company Nurture Landscapes. It features trees including English oak, black mulberry, maidenhair tree and monkey puzzle. Some are more than 100 years old.
Guided walks led by local Tree Champions are also planned, giving visitors the chance to hear more about the trees and their stories. A commemorative tree was planted in the Shoemakers Museum orchard after the first walk.
Visitors can ask for more information about the trail at the Clarks Village Guest Services point.
