The Missing Historian - A Race Against Time to Save the Tribunal

Ancient and Military Historian Avery Oldate is due to give crucial evidence at the Military Tribunal of a War Crime suspect. But, our Special Investigation Branch has received a tip-off that someone plans to intercept Avery before he reaches the tribunal in Larkhill! Without him, the whole case falls apart, and the cruel criminals will get away. As part of our Special Investigation Team (YOU!), it's up to you to follow the Trail of Clues and identify the perpetrator before it's too late. Report any findings immediately to your Local Intelligence Officer Ann Onymous at HQ so her crack squad of constables can apprehend the suspect and ensure Avery safely gives his evidence. Let's get to work, Investigators!

Car Treasure Hunt Through Salisbury Plain

Get ready for an exciting self-guided detective mystery as you embark on a Treasure Hunt across Salisbury Plain. Starting at Solstice Park Junction, you'll hop in your squad car and head to Larkhill Garrison to hunt for clues. Along the way, you'll discover the birthplace of military aviation, an unusual living tribute to Admiral Lord Nelson, and get up close to a tank and a curious adaptation of the Gazelle helicopter.

Can you solve the mystery and bring not one, but two criminals to justice? Keep your eyes peeled for sneaky clues scattered throughout the area, and trust your detective skills to crack the case before it's too late.

What is a Treasure Trail?

Before You Set Off

Before you set off on your awesome adventure, there are a few things you need to know...

Salisbury Plain Military Lands Byelaws are posted on the way; please stick to directions, adhere to usual prohibitions, and obey specific restrictions.

The route isn’t friendly for wheelchair users and pushchairs.

Although this is a dog-friendly Trail, the optional detour to Stonehenge isn't. 

The closest car park to the Trail start point is at Solstice Park Services (SP4 7SQ), where your investigation begins.

There are public toilets available at the beginning of the Trail, and refreshment stops are limited once you leave the services, so pack plenty of supplies. 

Looking for more things to do near Salisbury Plain? Make a day of it and take the optional detour to the Stonehenge Visitor Centre, or visit Cholderton Rare Breeds Farm Park.
