Naunton and the Slaughters

A murder has been committed in the area of the beautiful Slaughters and Naunton. Can you solve the clues and find out who did it and with which weapon? This trail will take you through some of the most scenic and historical parts of the charming Cotswold villages of Naunton, Upper Slaughter and Lower Slaughter including many rows of cottages and follow the course of the tranquil River Eye. It also takes in the historic Churches of St Peter and St Mary, and covers parts of both the Wardens Way and the Gloucestershire Way.

This can be either a driving or a cycling treasure trail that visits 3 lovely Cotswold villages. To solve the clues, a total of about 2.5 miles walking will be required. The Trail should take you about 2.5 hours to complete (by car between villages). It is mostly paved, with 2 sections (totaling half a mile) on grass. There are some gentle inclines. Clues can be found in the villages only and not en route between them. You cannot solve any clues from your vehicle.
The Trail could also be covered completely by foot. For walking routes between the 3 villages, please refer to Ordnance Survey Maps: Landranger 163 - Cheltenham & Cirencester, or Explorer OL45 - The Cotswolds. Parking is at a premium in these three villages. Allowances should be made for the possible need to park a little way out from the starting points in each location. The additional walk will be more than worth the effort to take in the delightful views.
