A mystery is waiting to be solved in

Cerne Abbas

Eva Theery, a Cambridge scholar, recently went missing near the car park at the Cerne Abbas Giant. Fortunately, Eva is alive and well (apart from a sore head), but unfortunately, she has no recollection of what happened to her! Rumours have been circulating that her disappearance is connected to her controversial theories about the famous figure on the hill. With the whole town in an uproar, it's up to YOU to help DCI Lou Tennant solve this puzzling case.

Detective Mystery Through Cerne Abbas

Join in on the adventure with this family-friendly, self-guided Detective Mystery Trail through the charming village of Cerne Abbas. Starting at the Kettle Bridge picnic area, you'll follow a riverside walk to the Abbey, past the ancient St Augustine's Well, and a pirate grave, before arriving in the village itself.

With 13 pubs and its own brewery, there's plenty to explore in this historic village. But don't forget about the case at hand-clever clues have been left around town, and it's up to YOU to eliminate suspects and solve the mystery. And after all that investigating, why not stop for a delicious cream tea at the fantastic tea room in the village?

Put on your detective hat and help solve the mystery of the Cerne Abbas Scholar!
