Eye - Castle & Countryside

Navigating The Route

This is a circular investigation around Eye’s town centre, castle area and surrounding paths, with detectives following pavements, footpaths and some uneven ground as they track down corrupt bank staff.

There are uneven and potentially muddy sections, along with varied terrain and footpaths, so the route is not suitable for most wheelchairs or pushchairs. However, robust buggies and wheelchairs should be able to navigate the paths. Take care near roads, keep your squad close and watch your footing, especially on rougher or muddy stretches.

Getting There

For parking, Cross Street Car Park (IP23 7AB) is your recommended stakeout spot and where your first clue is waiting.

Local bus services run from nearby Diss, which has a train station, but check timetables before you set off.

Need the Loo?

Even top detectives need a comfort break during a long investigation!

Public toilets can be found at the start location in the car park.

There are also cafés and shops in the town centre for a well-timed refuel while reviewing your evidence.

Bring Your Furry Sidekicks

Four-legged detectives are welcome on the case 🐾

With town streets, paths and some countryside sections to explore, it’s a great outing for canine companions - just keep leads handy near roads and in muddier areas.
