Following the successes of our walking Trails around Woodbridge and Felixstowe, our car Trail around Shottisham (via Melton, Shingle Street, Ramsholt and Bawdsey Quay) and our cycling Trail around Kesgrave, we've now launched a walking murder mystery Trail exploring the most delightful seaside town of Aldeburgh.
Next on the list is a Spy Trail revealing the highlights of the quirky seaside town of Thorpeness, followed by a Treasure Hunt Trail around the magnificent cathedral town of Bury St Edmunds. Lavenham and Eye are also high on our list.
Meanwhile we can't wait for some more great improvements in Ipswich to finish so that we can reveal some of the secrets of Suffolk's enigmatic County Town. Ipswich Waterfront or City Centre? The pace of building works will decide!
Keep an eye on the website to watch our progress and check out our blog, Suffolk Online, for the inside story on Suffolk.
All our Trails are designed to be absorbing and fun for all ages. You can do them in your own time and you'll discover plenty about the locations you visit.
Try Secrets Around Shottisham if you want to drive or cycle around some of Suffolk's most beautiful and diverse unspoilt landscapes, stop for an idyllic pub lunch by the banks of the river and explore some of Suffolk's maritime past.
Felixstowe's walking Trail will help you uncover the secrets of this seaside town and the Woodbridge walking Trail, one of our most challenging we're told, will surprise you with the richness of this charming medieval town.
Aldeburgh - it's a delight and the walking Trail will make sure you don't miss anything.
Kesgrave - a residential town with so much more to it than meets the eye! Our cycling or longer walking Treasure Hunt Trail will uncover it secrets.
Suffolk is a county that already has everything going for it and now it has Treasure Trails - a fun, exciting and healthy way to uncover its highlights and get under its skin. We're aiming to build ten Trails by the end of 2010, and have earmarked at least another 30 "must do" locations for 2011. Our Trails will help you discover:
Suffolk has something for everyone and we'll find the best of it for you with a variety of walking, cycling and car Trails that will keep the whole family entertained.
Watch our progress on the map on the left as we fill it up with Trails designed to help you maximise your leisure time exploring this fabulous county.
If you're looking for something a bit different to get you out and about having fun in Suffolk be sure, with Treasure Trails you'll always find more than you were looking for.
Our Trails provide challenges for all ages. The clues are designed to be solved, though some with a little more head scratching and observation than others! Directions are contained in the Trails with handy hints to get you to the start as painlessly as possible. We retest our Trails frequently and, with the help of constant feedback from our Trailers, issue new editions regularly.
Very occasionally a clue location may be obscured, damaged, or temporarily unavailable and our Trail Trouble textline service will get round any immediate and apparently insurmountable clue challenge. Our where is the clue page provides a forum for occasionally troublesome clues.
