909 Map-Making Wells Cathedral Independent School Somerset WCS

Year 7 Cartographers Map The Combe

As part of their Thursday afternoon ‘909’ activities programme, a group of budding Year 7 cartographers visited The Combe, a nineteenth-century secret garden which lies to the north of the School.

Divided into small teams, the pupils were presented with their challenge: to produce as detailed a map of the area as possible, complete with symbols, colour coding, and a key. While each team’s map-maker planned the design, their hardy researchers scampered off into the (manicured) wilderness before reporting back on what they had seen.

Amidst the beautiful and inspiring surroundings, they produced a series of imaginative and informative maps, certain to help any visitor to the garden!

Join us at our Open Day on Saturday 5th October and see why so many people find Wells such a special place!
