Touching Riverdown is a tactile trail of interactive pillars and pavers across the new housing development and large country park. Interactive and designed to enable rubbings, these works are inspired by the area's rich history as a centre for Medieval tile making and the local flora and fauna of the park. The interpretation is a bespoke AR app to allow visitors to learn more about the artwork and their local environment.
