Fieldsman Trails Ltd, a pioneering publisher based in Mold, North Wales, has for fifteen years devoted itself to the publication of mapping information for the urban and rural environments in alternative formats. Fieldsman Trails has recognised that whilst physical access within our environment has taken significant leaps forward; the biggest barrier is the lack of information, resulting in people simply not knowing what access provisions are already available.

The "Voice Trails" will take the walker along The Mawddach Trail from Dolgellau to Barmouth(9miles) and through Coedydd Aber to Aber Falls(3miles). Colin Antwis will also be leading groups of visually impaired walkers on "Live Commentary" walks along the same routes.

  • BarrierFreeMap™

Fieldsman Trails latest work has taken advantage of the Internet, Wrexham Access Guide, to help make their mapping information even more accessible. This work focuses on the barriers to physical access within Wrexham town centre and enables Wrexham County Borough Council to provide the general public with factual location based access information in multiple formats. This allows people to choose, using their preferred information format, their favoured route around the obstacles they will encounter in the town centre - information that is particularly valuable for disabled people. 

Fieldsman Trails calls this approach to the provision of location based access information the BarrierFreeMapÔ

The BarrierFreeMapÔ proposition is simple: All location based access information shall be available to all people in all formats at a time and place of their choosing

In 2004 Fieldsman Trails received a bursary from the Eric Hosking Charitable Trust. These annual awards provide financial assistance for projects that promote, in particular, Bird Life through writing, photography, painting or illustration.

Eric Hosking was a foremost Bird Photographer who himself was partially sighted after loosing an eye when attempting to photograph a Tawny Owl in Wales. It is therefore doubly apt that Fieldsman Trails should receive a bursary for the preparation of a series of framed Tactile Bird images, that will enable blind and partially sighted people to explore through touch the different shapes of birds bodies, beaks and feet.
