A trail of clues awaits in
Dedham
The residents of Dedham are in an uproar; the museum has been robbed! The curators were eager to welcome visitors to their new exhibition of exquisite oil paintings. But, when the crowds reached the jewel in the exhibition's crown, they discovered it had been replaced with a picture of rolling hills… drawn in crayon! Not to mention the gift shop had all its hand-painted tea towels pinched too. Luckily, the chief suspect - Russell Sponies - isn't all that bright and drew the impersonating piece on the back of a map showing his favourite stash spots! While DCI Justin Case questions Mr Sponies, he's asked the team at the Exploration Society to track down the priceless paintings. Can you - our TOP treasure seekers - follow the Clues to pinpoint the place where the lost loot is hidden away?

More Information:
Before you set off on your awesome adventure to explore Dedham, there are a few things you need to know...
The route is friendly for wheelchair users and pushchairs.
Bring your four-legged friends along! The route includes a park where your dog can have a run-around, but we recommend leads where the Trail comes to roads.
The closest long-stay pay and display car park to the Trail start point is the Mill Lane Car Park, just a minute's walk away.
Please check for any local events before setting off, as some clues may become obstructed or difficult to access during large outdoor gatherings.
There are public toilets available towards the middle of the Trail, at Clue 13. You can also stop here for a picnic.

Mini Explorer Club
Mini Explorer Club
We have three super duper themed Clubs for your child to enjoy as part of their Treasure Trail experience.
Perfect for 4-8 year olds, the concept behind the Clubs is that your child will get a bundle of goodies to excite
them about their forthcoming Trail experience, something to keep them entertained whilst travelling to and from
the Trail, and something to be given on completion of the Trail as a keepsake.
