Treasure Trails Devon remains committed to endeavouring to ensure that our Trails are accessible to all, regardless of age, physical limitations or disabilities.
Treasure Trails Devon provides a series of themed self-guided walking, cycling, driving and bus Trails throughout Devon, 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 plaques, inscriptions, information boards, etc.
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 Devon Treasure Trails can be purchased locally.
• The start location is given within each Trail.
• Suggested parking is given where possible.

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
