T.R.A.I.L. is an Artists led organisation exploring the themes of recycling and environmental issues through an annual gallery exhibition and sculpture trail in the popular coastal region of Teignbridge in South Devon. You can follow the sculpture trail from Shaldon, through Teignmouth and Dawlish to Dawlish Warren.

T.R.A.I.L. was 5 years old in 2009 and to celebrate, along with the established sculpture trail, launched a new initiative, an exciting extravaganza of wearable art/sculpture inspired by TRAIL's concern for the environment and climate change.

We would like to thank our sponsors, artists and visitors that have made 2009 particularly successful and enjoyable.
The next sculpture Trail will be in place from July  2010.
If you are an artist or community organisation and feel inspired to exhibit in 2010 please contact
