Pesky Pests at Claydon Trail

Not all visitors to historic houses are welcome! This trail introduces children to the insects that can damage our collections and the work we do to protect them.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Did you know that insects and bugs can damage our precious collections and buildings? Here at Claydon we have several pesky pests that we need to keep a watchful eye out for and catch them before they eat our books, clothes, floors and furniture! On this trail, children can use their detective skills to follow clues and match the pest to their habitat!

This trail is included with entry and available whenever the house is open.​
