A mystery is waiting to be solved in

Cranborne Chase

Triumph has turned to tragedy this week. Renowned astronomer Dr Mal Keyway and his apprentice Luna Gazer were due to conduct a press conference, revealing some shocking revelations about some strange stars seen popping up in our galaxy. But just hours before, they were found slumped at the dark sky reserve! Police have appealed for witnesses but have faced silence - very suspicious!

DCI Eve Ningall has asked for you - our TOP Detectives - to help her team crack the case. Can you solve the clues and piece together the evidence to discover the truth?

The Mysteries of the Universe

Are you looking for something to do with family and friends or seeking a fun day out with the kids in Cranborne Chase? Then why not explore this self-guided detective mystery themed Treasure Trail that will take you on a journey through the beautiful Dorset countryside.

As you follow the Trail route, you'll encounter sneaky clues hidden on existing buildings, permanent features, and monuments. But be careful, not everything is as it seems. Keep your eyes open for any strange occurrences as you make your way to the mysterious 13th century ruin of Knowlton Church. Legend has it that the devil himself stole the bell from the church and threw it in the River Allen.

So grab your picnic and get ready for an exciting adventure that will test your detective skills and take you on a journey through the unknown wonders of the universe.
