What is a Treasure Trail?

Before You Set Off

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

It is not recommended you attempt this Trail during the first two weeks of July. During this time the town dresses its wells, so some clues will have restricted access. This may also be the case during any large or outdoor events, so please check what’s on before setting off.

The route isn’t friendly for wheelchair users and pushchairs due to a steep incline and a separate steep decline.

Some clues on this route may be in areas where dogs are prohibited, so we only suggest bringing your four-legged friends along if a member of your squad is able to wait with them at these locations.

The closest long stay pay and display car park to the Trail start point is at Pavilion Gardens (SK17 9AR), just a five-minute walk away.

There are public toilets available towards Clues 10, 11 and 14, and there are a number of options for grabbing refreshments along the way. If you fancy a picnic, Clue 20 is a perfect spot.
