The Magical Mystery of the Missing Doves
Famous magician Sly Toffhand is in despair! His usually reliable assistant Irma Flutter has left the door open to the outdoor aviary, where he keeps his prized performing white doves. Now a passing sparrowhawk has scared them, and they have flown off all over the Vale of Belvoir! Local birdwatchers have been calling him with possible sightings, but many are false leads and actually pigeons. A map has been drawn up, along with some curious Clues, and handed over to the Exploration Society. Can you, our team of ace Treasure Hunters, solve the Clues across the Vale based on these reports and discover where the doves are flocking together in hiding? Sly and Irma urgently need to be reunited with their feathered team so their show can go on. Their magic trick is to make the doves appear, and you are the last hope! They are desperate, so a reward may be on offer.

Before You Set Off
Before You Set Off
Before you set off on your awesome adventure to explore the Vale of Belvoir, there are a few things you need to know...
The Wildflower Farm & Café that you visit to solve two of the clues is closed on Mondays. Two more clues will potentially be obscured by a Farmers Market at the Craft Centre on the third Sunday of every month, so please bear this in mind before beginning your quest!
The route isn’t friendly for wheelchair users due to some steps and a steep footpath; however, those with light pushchairs should find this manageable.
Bring your four-legged friends along! Please note that dogs will need to be kept on leads, and they’ll need to be good at hoping in and out of the car several times during your adventure.
The closest long stay pay and display car park to the Trail start point is at The Sands in Long Clawson (LE14 4PA), where your quest begins.
There are some fantastic events across the area, all of which are great times to visit this beautiful valley. However, you may find that some of the clues on this Trail become obstructed or difficult to access on these occasions, for instance, during the Farmer’s Market mentioned above. We recommend checking out any events in advance.
There are public toilets available towards the middle and end of the Trail, and the route passes several pubs and a few cafes along the way.
Looking for more things to do in the Vale of Belvoir? Make a day of it and spend extra time exploring the Wildflower Farm or take a peek inside Belvoir Castle to learn more twisting tales about the area. You could even challenge yourself to one of the other Trails in the Vale of Belvoir and let out your inner treasure seeker, daring detective or slippery spy!
