Treasure Trails tries to ensure that our Trails are accessible to all, regardless of age, physical limitations or disabilities.
Treasure Trails creates themed walking, cycling, driving and bus Trails throughout the UK, based on a Murder Mystery, Treasure Hunt or Spy Mission format. The Trails involve following a self-guided route around a location, which will lead the Trailer to a series of clues set on permanent features, such as buildings, plaques and monuments.
The Trails can be completed all year round and are suitable for all ages and almost all abilities**. The Trails are designed to be completed at leisure.
• The Trailer can access details about each individual Trail via the website www.treasuretrails.co.uk
• The Trails can be pre-purchased and downloaded prior to the Trailer's visit.
• The customer can view on the website the various retail outlets where Treasure Trails can be purchased locally.
• The start location is given within each Trail.
• Suggested parking is given where possible.

• **The Trails are written specifically with a view to ensuring they are wheelchair and pushchair friendly, however this may not always be possible, due to the physical landscape. Alternative routes are given for wheelchair and pushchairs where possible. We encourage our Trailers to give us feedback on the suitability of our Trails for pushchair and wheelchair users.
The Trails are designed to be completed at any time of the day and all year round.

Dear Sandy,
As requested, I thought I'd report in how we are getting on with mum (91) in Topsham on the trail. We drove to the car park and pushed her round in the wheel chair, found the paths a bit narrow but road not to busy. We managed half the trail before she had had enough or one day but she is keen to go back and finish it. She was up for looking for the clues and managed to work out how it all worked.These trails are great for discovering little known places. (and good ice cream stops too!) Keep up the good work.
Yours, Gill
