Great detectives needed!
A mystery is waiting to be solved in
Camborne
Calling all super sleuths! We need our best detective to join us on a self-guided adventure through the historic town of Camborne. The town has been plagued by a notorious gang known as "Da Crustiest Dynastiest", who have been caught using all sorts of crazy tools to create a fake, inferior pasty recipe. They plan to sell these fake pasties to unsuspecting customers for a quick profit.
But the gang won't give up their leader, and we need your help to solve the case and bring them to justice. Join us on this exciting trail as we gather evidence and uncover the town's history while working to right the wrongdoings of this local crime ring.
This case may leave a bitter taste in your mouth, but don't worry, we'll also be stopping at quaint inns, a medieval churchyard, and the bustling town centre along the way.

More Information:
Before you set off on your awesome adventure to explore Camborne (Kammbronn), there are a few things you need to know...
This Trail has not been marked as accessible for wheelchair users or pushchairs due to some sections without pavements, some uneven ground and hills along the route.
Why not bring your four-legged friends along? Please note that the town centre can be busy, so please keep your dog on a lead throughout the Trail.
The closest pay and display car park to this Trail's start point is at Rosewarne car park (TR14 8BE), which also has a long stay section if you wish to stop and explore the town further once you have cracked the conundrum. (Please visit the website for information on parking and charges). There is a bus station close to the centre of town, which is a five-minute walk from the start point. A railway station also serves the town and is around a 10-minute walk from the start point (trains stop at Camborne - yes, even on Wednesdays).
Trevithick Day, a celebration of the town's most famous "son" and its resultant parade of steam-powered traction engines, is held annually in Camborne towards the end of April. During the event, some clues along the Trail route may be tricky to access, so we strongly recommend planning your day before you travel. For the latest details of the next forthcoming event, please click here to visit their website.
There are no public toilets available at the start point of the Trail, but there are some around Clues 12 to 14. Camborne operates a Restroom Scheme, whereby local businesses offer the use of their facilities. Click here for further details of the scheme. The route passes several pubs, restaurants and a few cafes in the town centre sections towards the beginning and end of the Trail. There is a great open space playpark and picnic spot opportunity around Clues 12 to 14.
Looking for more things to do near Camborne? If the Trail has whetted your appetite for local mining history, visit the nearby King Edward Mine Museum, which is a short drive out of the town centre, to learn more about Camborne's rich heritage. You could even walk or bring your bicycles along and enjoy the beautiful scenery along the Great Flat Lode Trail.
