Cycling adventures

Fancy a two-wheeled adventure? We’ve got just the thing! Our cycling Trails will have you peddling the route from stop to stop as you enjoy some scenic interludes between solving clues.

You’ll have to stop peddling to solve the clues, of course! Sometimes this will be a quick stop-and-solve. At other times, you’ll need to lock up the bikes and explore a location on foot to find the answers you seek. Then it’s back on the saddle and off to the next location along the self-guided route.

It's super easy to find cycling adventures around your local area or whichever place you'd like to explore. Firstly, enter the place you'd like to visit into the search bar at the top of this page. You'll then be able to see all the Treasure Trails within 30 miles.

Click on the filter button just above the map to see the filter options pop up on the left-hand side. Under 'Getting Around', click the 'Scooter friendly' box and press the 'Submit Filters' button. Then, you'll be able to see all the awesome cycling adventures just waiting to be tackled!

Not all regions of the country have cycling Trails, so to save you a bit of time, we’ve put together a full list of cycling Trails below. Please note that some of the routes are linear, meaning they’re just one way, so you will also need to plan for the journey back.
