Ampthill's Foggy Fiasco - A Race Against Time!
Attention all Agents! The picturesque town of Ampthill is in grave danger. The annual 'Scenic views in Bedfordshire' competition is just around the corner and we have received intel that the mayor of the neighbouring town, Notton Yurnelly, has a sinister plan to sabotage Ampthill's chances of winning.
The mayor, Theresa Mist, has set up a fog-making machine in the valley that will create a thick blanket of fog, obstructing the judges' view and causing Ampthill to lose. But fear not, for we have intercepted her band of aides and discovered that they have scattered Clues to the deactivation code of the machine while they were casing Ampthill.
We urgently need the help of TOP Agents (that's YOU!) to decipher the clues, crack the code, and save the day before it's too late. The future of Ampthill rests in your hands. Good luck!

Before You Set Off
Before You Set Off
Before you set off on your awesome adventure to explore Ampthill, there are a few things you need to know...
Unfortunately, the route isn’t friendly for wheelchair users and pushchairs due to a number of hills and some uneven terrain.
Bring your four-legged friends along! Please note that while Ampthill Common is great for tracker dogs to stretch their legs, they can't go into the play area.
The closest long stay pay and display car park to the Trail start point is at Ampthill Park (MK45 2GQ), where your first clue can be cracked.
There are some fantastic events in Ampthill’s calendar, all of which are great times to visit this beautiful town. However, you may find that some of the clues on this Trail become obstructed or difficult to access on these occasions. We recommend checking for events before you set off on your mission.
There are public toilets available towards Clue 14, and the route passes several pubs and a few cafes along the way. Pack a picnic to enjoy after Clue 15.
Looking for more things to do near Ampthill? Make a day of it and enjoy some post-mission relaxation in one of the many nearby nature reserves. You could even walk to (or drive to) English Heritage’s Houghton House to learn more twisting tales about the local area.
