The Great Cake Heist - Can YOU Help UNESCO Recover Their Recipe?
The United Nations Espionage Secret Cake Organisation (UNESCO for short) is in trouble! Their top secret Victoria sponge recipe has been stolen by the notorious Sharon Nuffin, CEO of "Takes The Biscuit". She's locked it away, determined to keep the delicious cake all to herself.

We have three super duper themed Clubs for your child to enjoy as part of their Treasure Trail experience.
Perfect for 4-8 year olds, the concept behind the Clubs is that your child will get a bundle of goodies to excite
them about their forthcoming Trail experience, something to keep them entertained whilst travelling to and from
the Trail, and something to be given on completion of the Trail as a keepsake.

Before You Set Off
Before You Set Off
Before you set off on your awesome adventure to explore Canterbury, there are a few things you need to know...
The Trail visits parks that close at dusk, so give yourselves plenty of time to complete these sections before setting off.
Unfortunately, this route isn't suitable for wheelchair users as you will encounter a very steep bank and some narrow bridges with step access along the way. However, those exploring with pushchairs should find this manageable.
Bring your four-legged friends along! Please note that it is a busy city centre, so dogs will need to be kept on leads.
The closest long stay pay and display car park to the Trail start point is at Queningate (CT1 1NG), just a five-minute walk away. Or why not try Canterbury's fantastic Park and Ride service?
There are some fantastic events in Canterbury's calendar, all of which are great times to visit this beautiful city. However, you may find that some of the clues on this Trail become obstructed or difficult to access on these occasions. Please check for events before setting off.
There are public toilets available at Clues 04, 08 and 12. The route passes several pubs and a few cafes along the way, as well as some great picnic opportunities!
Looking for more things to do in Canterbury? Make a day of it and uncover more twisting tales of Canterbury's past by visiting Canterbury Cathedral, St Augustine's Abbey or Westgate Towers Museum.
