The Secret of the Black Swans - A Spy Adventure in Dawlish

Sick of avid bird-watchers coming to take a peek at Dawlish's famous trademark black swans (and almost discovering his secret underwater base in the process), the evil scientist Dr Madden Badd has hatched a horrid plot. He's planted a device in the brook running through the town that will release a strong dye into the water once activated. The dye will turn the stunning blackbirds into normal white swans, meaning the bird-watchers will stop visiting. The mad Doc will finally be left in peace to concoct more sinister schemes, and we can't let that happen! Luckily the Doc's band of henchmen aren't the smartest and have left clues to the device's deactivation code around the town. We need you - our TOP Secret Agents - to slyly sneak around the town to gather the intel, crack the code and safe the day. Good luck!

Spy Adventure Through Dawlish - Seafront & Brook

Are you looking for something to do with family and friends or seeking a fun day out with the kids in Dawlish?

Then why not explore Dawlish on this self-guided spy mission themed Treasure Trail. As you follow the Trail route, can you solve the sneaky clues set on existing buildings, permanent features and monuments to crack the code and complete the mission just like a true secret agent?

The Trail starts at Dawlish Railway Station on the seafront and finishes in the park nearby. Dawlish is famous for its black swans which inhabit the brook running through its centre. As you explore, you'll encounter a steep climb, but the stunning views from the top of the hill are well worth it!
