Now we've got something new to add to that list - a Mosaics and Murals Trail.
Through time, our parks, reserves, streets and lanes have become sites for creators to add even more interest to the town.
Starting at the entrance, the trail takes you to Wingham High School with a large mural created by Indigenous students and community members.
Then off to Wingham Brush you go, to a beautiful bench situated on the river bank covered in mosaics. From there make your way to Central Park. One corner has mosaics at its entrance, and, although not a mural or mosaic artwork, there is a unique waterfall to see.
Wingham Museum contains murals created for them by local schools.
The main event, without a doubt, is our main street, Isabella Street, which has been made colourful with recent outdoor murals. And from there, there are two outdoor murals in Wingham to visit.
Our photo gallery gives you a guided tour through the trail, but nothing beats experiencing it for yourself.
