A mystery is waiting to be solved in
Bath
Local plumber Ivor Leakidge was working on the pipes of the Roman Baths when he stumbled upon a shocking discovery. In his opinion, the baths were not actually Roman at all, but rather a modern creation! Librarian Paige Turner was sceptical of Ivor's findings and set out to prove him wrong. However, before Ivor could share his theory with the press, he met an untimely end. The local police have been struggling to solve the case, so Detective Chief Inspector Jack Oosey is turning to you (the best detectives around!) to help solve this mysterious case. Can you uncover the culprit behind this Roman Baths cover-up?

The closest long stay pay and display car park to the Trail start point is at Manvers Street (BA1 1JZ). However, we would suggest using one of Bath's Park and Ride services - especially during busy periods.
