YOUR CASE
Notorious relic robber Ms Anne Teak nearly pulled off the perfect heist when she cunningly replaced all four of Ripon's ceremonial horns with four beautifully crafted exact replicas. However, much to the Hornblower's embarrassment, the high-pitched squeak of the imitation horn gave the game away. The Hornblower has been left huffing and puffing and Ms Teak is nowhere to be seen. Luckily, a search of her house has unearthed a treasure map and a set of clues which will lead you to the missing horns....
Ripon
Ripon is best known for its cathedral and racecourse and is one of only two cities in North Yorkshire, the other being York. It is the fourth smallest city in the UK and holds a market every Thursday which has over 120 stalls. Ripon also has one of the oldest running traditions in the world; every evening at 9pm the Hornblower blows a horn at each of the four corners of the obelisk in the market square to mark the setting of the night's watch.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY
We really did enjoy the trail, I don't know Ripon really well, but it's always fascinating how many things you have just walked or driven past so many times without noticing.
