They are a really good and fun way to explore a new town or city, or your local area... Suitable for all ages. We are in our 70's.

Daresbury to Walton

Oh my ears and whiskers, how did it get lost? It's been 150 years since Alice first popped into Wonderland to see us, and every year we celebrate with a special tea-party. But this year, our good friend the Hatter has lost his hat! The party can't possibly start without it. He thinks he might have left it in Daresbury (where this year's special party is going to be) or possibly in Walton Gardens. Can you help us, Dear Readers, solve this mystery?

The Adventures of Alice in Daresbury and Walton

Are you looking for a fun day out with family and friends, or seeking a thrilling adventure with the kids in Cheshire? Look no further than this self-guided Alice in Wonderland Treasure Hunt through the quaint village of Daresbury and the picturesque Walton Hall and Gardens.

As you follow the Trail, you'll unravel sneaky clues hidden in existing buildings, permanent features, and monuments, all while exploring the village and its connection to Lewis Carroll, the author of Alice in Wonderland. You'll journey through the fields and make your way to the stunning All Saints Church (please check service times) before heading to the second location at Walton Hall and Gardens, a popular park with a children's zoo, playgrounds, and a cafe.

Put on your thinking caps, Dear Readers, and join us for an unforgettable adventure to find the Hatter's lost hat before the tea-party goes off the boil!
