The Lost Painting of Chiswick House - Can YOU Find It Before It's Too Late?
Attention all treasure seekers! The infamous Dr Mudinya Eye has set his sights on the picturesque town of Chiswick, and his latest scheme threatens to sink the entire community into disaster. Using his terrible tech-wizardry, he has built a device that will drain the canal into an old forgotten mineshaft beneath it. But that's not all - our undercover agent, codename Sandy Bottom, was able to transmit important intel that will help us to track down the device's deactivation code. Sadly, poor Sandy was eliminated by Dr Eye's horrid henchmen before she was able to reach the device. Now, we're asking you - our SLIPPERIEST SPIES - to bravely follow in Sandy's footsteps, solve the clues, and crack the code before it's too late!
The Chiswick Greens & Grounds Treasure Hunt
Prepare for an exciting self-guided treasure hunt that will take you on an expedition through the leafy West London suburb of Chiswick. As you journey along lovely streets and greens, explore the stunning grounds of Chiswick House, and meander along the river, you'll be hunting for vital clues that will lead you to the priceless treasure. But be careful - Dr Eye's henchmen are lurking around every corner, and only the most daring treasure seekers will be able to outsmart them and save the day!
The 'Father of British Painting', William Hogarth, bought a country residence on the edge of Chiswick in 1749. Old documents suggest that, while living here, one of his paintings was stolen and buried in a watertight container on an island in the River Thames! We need YOU to solve the clues and locate the stolen artwork after all these centuries.
Attention all treasure seekers - the fate of Chiswick is in your hands. Are YOU up for the challenge?

Before You Set Off
Before You Set Off
Before you set off on your awesome adventure to explore Chiswick, there are a few things you need to know...
The grounds of Chiswick House are accessible between 7am and dusk (5pm during the winter months, later at other times - please check the website). Please give yourself enough time to complete your quest.
The route isn’t friendly for wheelchair users due to several steps. However, this should be manageable for light pushchairs.
Bring your four-legged friends along! This Trail is along a dog-friendly route.
The start and end locations of this Trail are close to the Turnham Green Underground Station on the District and Piccadilly lines.
Access may be restricted to some parts of the Trail on some days due to special events or marches in Chiswick or central London. There are also events held at Chiswick House & Gardens that could affect your quest. It's always best to check for known road closures and restrictions ahead of travel.
There are plenty of cafes, pubs and restaurants at the beginning and end of your route, plus a café near Chiswick House. If the weather’s nice, Chiswick House & Gardens is the perfect place for a picnic. You’ll pass two children's playgrounds along the way - in Chiswick House & Gardens and in Homefield Recreation Ground.
