Join renowned archaeologist Dr Cliffe Anger and his trusty sidekick Doug Bones on an epic quest to uncover the long-lost Roman gold buried deep beneath the Town Hall in Chester.

But beware, the fiendish booby trap set to protect the gold requires a code to be disarmed. Can YOU crack the digits and help Cliffe and Doug rescue the treasure before it falls into the wrong hands? Keep your eyes peeled for any suspicious characters along the way…

Please Note:
Whilst Chester is a wonderful city steeped in history, its general antiquity and new archaeological discoveries mean that there can be building works, diversions and hoardings affecting our trails.
We do our very best to keep abreast of such work but please ask you to follow any diversions or instructions that such work may cause.
If you note anything along the Trail route that you think we need to know about and update, please don't hesitate to let us know via the feedback section when you submit your final answer for the Trail.
Thank you - it's great to know such wonderful places are being looked after properly and we can keep writing exciting trails here.
Please Note: during the Christmas period, a few Clues may be affected due to various fairs and events.
