There’s a new explorer in town and he goes by the name of Crick the Dragon.
The engaging character is the star of five free quiz trails that have been developed for children (and their families) as a way of exploring and learning more about who and what lives in Crickhowell and the surrounding area.
Developed by the Crickhowell and Black Mountains Tourism Group, the quizzes ask a range of questions about the wildlife, buildings and geography of the area. Part of the quiz is a treasure hunt and local businesses are showing their support by displaying a sticker of Crick in their windows.
There are five quizzes in total and as well as being great fun to complete, they also act as suggested itineraries for families – from an hour’s walk around Crickhowell to an all-day adventure around the Black Mountains.
Emma Corfield-Walters, owner of Book-ish and Chair of CBMT says of the quiz, “It’s great that Rural Alliances could help create these resources especially for young explorers. Hopefully they will encourage local and visiting children to follow in the footsteps of another famous Crickhowell son – George Everest.”
The quiz sheets are available from Crickhowell Resource and Information Centre (CRiC) and following the completion of each quiz the child will be awarded a certificate and a badge. There are five different designs to collect.
Have you seen Crick yet…?
